'Hi Shenan, sorry for the lack of info, not really clued up when it comes to
pc's as you can probably tell...I'm trying to burn some photo's from my c
drive onto a disk in my e drive, cd rom. It has had no trouble in the past
reading cd's but for some reason when the cd writing wizard gets to the end
of completing the function it freezes and locks me out. I'm running windows
XP, I've just had a look at the event log and it's saying I've had a service
control manager error. Hope this information is somewhere near to useful.
Thanks, Dave.

Nocturnal, I am using the windows built in program, I've looked at the device
manager and it tells me I have an ATAPI CD-RW 52X. Thanks.
