CD Burning Software Can't Add Music Files To Compilation To Burn CDs
Hi.....happy to be here.
Let me first say what this problem is NOT. My cd/dvd burner WORKS. I can burn dvds using clone dvd and others. I can import dvds and cds to my computer and play them, edit them, etc etc. I have not installed any new hardware or even software that I know of with the exception of an avg update (as avg is the only anti-virus i run). Ok. I use cdburner xp to burn cds (audio or data compilations). Occasionally I will use Ashampoo as well. Well all of a sudden one day (a week ago) I burned a cd in cdburner xp and it worked great as usual. Then when I went back to burn another, i can see no files to add to the compilation. In the left hand side you can see all my drives and folders that contain the files. I can also play, access, edit etc all these files in other programs and players. But in the right hand side of the burning software no files will come up when i click on a folder. SAME THING happens in Ashampoo. Basically the only thing wrong here is that I can't add files to burn cds. I don't get it. Again, I can see the drive and burn dvds....there is nothing wrong with my drive itself. I feel pretty sure I could burn cds too if I could get my files added to be burned! I don't get it. I tried to do a system restore (which I'd never done before with this laptop) but I can't because I hadn't created a restore point. I thought these were created automatically. I'm running windows 7 home prem on an asus laptop 64bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if this is a common thread. I searched and searched and found many that had burner problems and registry etc but none that were exactly like mine. I repeat....there is nothing wrong with my cd/dvd drive. Thanks much!
