Answer» I just spent an entire day working on a musical slideshow for my business. I have been able to save some projects to a CD as well as a DVD earlier in the day but this evening all of a sudden I am getting an error message stating that I cannot save to a CD, only to a DVD. It says that "A recordable CD drive was not detected." I do not know how to fix this. I have been online trying to get an answer for hours now. This is so frustrating. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have my project saved but it cannot be copied onto a CD unless I place the job back into the software. HELP. hmmm it sounds like theres a problem with your cd drive, not WMM. So you have it published, try putting it on a flash drive and taking it to a different COMPUTER and burning it. also before you do that, try making sure the cd burning program is burning in data mode, or else it is trying to burn AUDIO formats.Welcome aboard Quote I cannot save to a CD Is it brand new CD, or the one, you worked with before? CDR, or CDRW?Hey, thanks for the responses. My computer is brand new. I have both DVD and CD capabilities. I copy CD's all the time. I was also making copies of the CD directly through the Movie Maker software yesterday. Then all of a sudden I was getting that error notice and I can no longer make a CD copy of my work. I was wondering if I uninstalled the movie maker and re-installed it... perhaps this would fix the error? Except I am not sure how I would REINSTALL this software. I do not know if it was part of my new programs included in my computer whenI bought it or it came from some other place. ARGH!

I cannot save to a CD

Is it brand new CD, or the one, you worked with before? CDR, or CDRW?Hey, thanks for the responses.

My computer is brand new. I have both DVD and CD capabilities. I copy CD's all the time. I was also making copies of the CD directly through the Movie Maker software yesterday. Then all of a sudden I was getting that error notice and I can no longer make a CD copy of my work.

I was wondering if I uninstalled the movie maker and re-installed it... perhaps this would fix the error? Except I am not sure how I would REINSTALL this software. I do not know if it was part of my new programs included in my computer whenI bought it or it came from some other place.

ARGH!
