Unable to copy or drag files onto a cd-r

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

MY COMPUTER wasn't showing a RECORD tab on my DVD-RW/CD-RW drive. I went here
http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] duct=winxp

Modified the registry key, and now my CD/RW drive is showing a RECORD tab!
I tried to drag some imgs to the E drive, and that activated the "cd burning
wizard". It said,YOU HAVE FILES TO BE WRITTEN TO THE CD.

When i started the burning process, it asked for a disc name (to be written
on the cd), but then said, "there is no cd in this drive".........but, there
IS! I tried several.

I went to services.msc, and the service status says STOPPED. I start it
back up, APPLY, and OK.

when i try to copy the files onto cd again, it's status keeps going into
STOPPED!!!!

What could be causing this?

Thank you,
Norm Vogel PLS HELP, PLEASE!
