I am a novice about computers. I need help. I am attempting to burn a "batch

of E-mails with attached pictures to a CD, but the batch of E-mails exceeds

the capacity of the CD.

 

But Windows XP Home Edition does not recognize my DVD Burner.

Where and how can I download a driver that would enable Windows XP to burn

the batch of E-mails to the DVD Burner?

 

Please Help.

Thank You,

    You will need to get some third-party (non-Microsoft) software to burn DVDs.

     

    There are many from which to chose, some even free. Start at the following

    links:

     

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads32.html

     

    http://www.deepburner.com/?r=products&pr=deepburner&prr=features

     

    If nothing there appeals, try a Google search on "DVD burning software free"

    of similar (without the quotes).

     

    And, finally, if you want a relatively sure bet (but not free), try the

    latest version of either Nero or Easy Media Creator. At one time Nero

    permitted a limited free-test-period; maybe they still do?

    Ray:

     

    XP has no native method for copying files to a DVD of any kind. You need a

    third party application such as

    Easy CD Creator or Nero.

    Did you purchase this drive new? It should have a bundled software disk where you

    can install the proper burning software for the drive. The application you want to

    install from the disk would either be SonicDVD 4.0.

     

    To see what was supplied withe the bundled software:
