I was able to rip music from my cd's in Win. Media. However, when I try to burn them to a cd, the "Burn CD" button is grayed out. Does anyone know why this might be?

I have a Toshiba Sat A135 Vista Basic laptop. Thank you in advance.

Also, returning to this forum I notice an annoying pop-up of Verizen....I'm supposed to have a pop-up guard handle this. When did this appear on this site?

I'm not sure what you refer to as the "Burn CD" button. When you go to the 'Burn" tab, a display on the right pane tells you to drag files to that location. Once you have drag the songs you want to burn, you need to press the "Start Burn" button at the bottom. I can't find a 'Burn CD' button.

I have pop-ups Okay on this forum and have never seen your Verizon pop-up. So maybe a Admin can assist you on that ? problem.

Thank you both! Yes, Felix, your right. I did the "drag" thing and tried to click on the "Burn" button in the lower corner, that's what's Grayed out.

you might try this. open my computer -> open the CD/DVD drive with properties. make sure you have it checked as OK to burn with, or set to default for your system... ( I had to check with MS on "unable to burn cd's)

Thank you very much Snuffy, it didn't work.

Make sure there's no issues with your recorder; try using a free music recorder like Express Burn, http://www.nch.com.au/burn/.

Thank you!!!

I tried something different....I transferred the ripped music to Real Player and just successfully burned them to a cd. Thank you again!!
