Burning Pictures onto CD

I have Windows XP and have tried unsuccessfully to transfer (burn) pictures
that I have on my computer to a disk. I keep getting a message "Windows
encountered a problem when trying to copy this folder. What would you want
windows to do?" Then I have my choices of Retry, Stop or Cancel. I have
followed the directions of going into My Computer and highlighting the file
to be sent to the CD but it does not work.

I have tired to find answers in the Help but there is nothing pertaining to
the message that I have been getting every time I try to burn pics onto the
CD.

I have read posts from others with similar problems and I follow the
directions that were given to them but I still get the same message. What am
I doing wrong?

=====================================

I guess you are aware this is a Vista newsgroup?

For XP questions...try Windows XP Photos:

microsoft.public.windowsxp.photos
http://tinyurl.com/937fe
or...
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/e...ndowsxp.photos

Maybe the following articles will offer some ideas:

(279157) Description of CD-ROM Recording
in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=279157

(306524) HOW TO: Copy Information to a
CD in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306524

(324129) HOW TO: Troubleshoot Issues
That Occur When You Write Data to a CD-R
or CD-RW Optical Disc in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=324129

(316529) CD-R Drive or CD-RW Drive Is
Not Recognized As a Recordable Device

Re: Burning Pictures onto CD

No, I was not aware that this was a vista group. I hit search and assumed
that I was in the correct area. I will post my question in the correct area.
Thank you for the info, I will see if any of those links can tell me what I
am doing wrong.
