Re: Vista and CD/DVD burning

BW, I tried every-which-a-way to get the job done, including as you
describe. I tried to format thinking that that was the problem to no avail.
I will delete Nero as I have seen it's not comp. w/Vista. The strange thing
is that some of the commands do work, specifically "Eject" and the correct
drive with letter D or E work, so I think windows is aware of the drives
properly so I'm just confused.

My Vista installation has become even more stable over the last few weeks
and I've not had the BSOD ever. A few reboots, but really not the kinds of
problems others have reported--except for much of the software I own does
not work with Vista in 'ANY compatibility mode'.

Thanks for the regedit suggestion. I do know how to do that! I had one
HELL of a time getting rid of AOL!! If only Vista would have suggested I
get rid of it before installation like it does for other programs. I'm left
tho with either "uninst_us.exe or uninstal.exe which I can't even find
anywhere on my puter.
