Solved Windows 7 & CDBurnerXP

[trendy]

I just went to reinstall the CDBurnerXP and it takes a long time to open from when I double click on the desktop icon.Had this problem before so I thought that I would uninstall and re install it but with no luck,Just did a timer on it before posting this question It took one min to open from time of double clicking the icon.:shock:
Is this the norm for this or does it have a conflict with W7?
Thanks.

I don't use CD BurnerXP as I now have Nero, but I've tried it in the past and didn't have any long delay with it opening. There must be some other PC problem.

You could also try the free (and popular) ImgBurn and see how it works.
The Official ImgBurn Website

Thanks would that link you gave do exactly what CDBurnerXP would do?
Burn audio to a cd to play on my cd player.
Thanks.

I have CDBurnerXP on my PC (apart from Nero, ImgBurn, PowertoGo, Ashampoo Burning Studio 10, the latest addition being Free Any Burn.)

To answer your first question, I just clicked on CDBurnerXP and it opened instantaneously - can't even time it . So definitely there is some problem with your PC.

Free Any Burn is an easy to use, light weight program. You may try it. The Official Free Any Burn Website

And "Yes" . Right on the opening screen you will have the tab "Burn Audio CD from MP3/flac/ape..."

You also have a tutorial here : http://www.anyburn.com/tutorials/burn-audio-cd.htm

jumanji.Many thanks for your input,Regarding my pc as you said that the CDBurnerxp works fine with you.
All other programs are working fine except CDBurnerxp just cant understand it,Anyway my wife brought her laptop home earlier on so I decided to have a go with CDxp on her laptop and get the same results as on my desktop.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this as its slow on both pc's.
But looking at your link I will have a go at that later on.
Many thanks for your input much appreciated

ImgBurn will create an Audio CD.

Hi Daiol ...oooops....trendy ,

It is strange that CDBurnerXP has the same delayed start on both the machines.

I would suggest that you redownload the software from the author's website CDBurnerXP: Downloads .

Uninstall your existing version completely from the machine using Revo Uninstaller - freeware Download Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Free and Full Download - Uninstall software, remove programs, solve uninstall problems , reboot and do a fresh install . Check whether it resolves the problem.

As far as audio CD burning is concerned almost all burners can do it but ease of use is what matters. You may try all the free burners and choose the one that you prefer. Experimentation is the key to find what suits you best.

jumanji,Hi Followed your link to install the CDBurnerXP to try again,I downloaded the software then selected run and a error box came up.

Any help here please.

image error....

I just downloaded CDBurnerXP from the link jumanji provided and it installed and works fine. No problems. When I click to open the application, it opens immediately.

As suggested uninstall the program with Revo Uninstaller, then RESTART the PC BEFORE attempting to reinstall it again. If you uninstall something and don't restart there can still be fragments loaded and the original problem can still be there.

I did follow the info,Uninstalled the old one - restart pc then tried to instal from link supplied and got what my image showed.
Will have another attempt later,Will let you know.
Many thanks.

OK, I would think you need to clean up all temp files.

Quit all programs, Click on Start and in the search field type %temp%. Click on the Temp folder in the dialog box to open it. Select all folders/files and delete them. Some files in use cannot be deleted. Skip them but by and large you would have deleted most of the temp files that include old setup files. Empty the Recycle Bin.

Now reinstall CDBurnerXP.

If you still have problems, report. Then I will scratch my head further. ( I am away from station for the next two days starting midnight today 14 hours from now.)

jumanji.Well here we are again,Followed you instructions regarding temp files.
Also run CCleaner and did a reg cleaner with same program.Did a restart of desktop,Then followed the link you provided and downloaded CDBurnerXP went and installed it it all went well but did not install all other languages and unchecked the tool bar section.
Did a restart and all seems okay opens up in a matter of seconds,It was really bothering me to find out what was actually causing the problem.
Most probably it was a combination of temp files etc and also I was down loading the software from a different source to the one you provided.

Well thanks very much once again,Very much appreciated.


Sorry off the point of the above,Can you recommend an alternative ti windows media player apart from VLC Please.
Thank You.

Glad your problem is resolved. I am convinced that the the old setup files in the temp. folder was the root cause for the problems you faced.

The only player - apart from WMP - I have and would recommend is Media Player Classic - Home Cinema. http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/downloads/
