can't save file on cd-rom in ms works

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

In Windows 98, you can't send a file directly to a CD burner without
having a certain type of program installed. What CD burning software do
you have installed?

I have the same problem. I have both Nero & Roxio Easy CD Creator.

MS Works cannot write to a CD because it has
no CD control software. The solution thus is:

1. In MS Works, write to the hard drive.

2. Use Nero or Roxio to copy or move the saved
file to a CD. (To add other files cumulatively later,
be sure to check the box enabling this.)

Thanks for the response. When I try to save anything from any program to a
cd, I get the response that I am not the owner of the file, see the owner or
system administrator. I am not networked & files are not password protected.
