SUCCESS...PART WAY!! While browsing other "posts" I found a referral to go
to: Article ID 316529. I followed the directions and when done...to my
surprise the options came back for recording to a CD!! The part way now is
that I do have the options before me, I get the message that the files are
ready to be burned, and I follow through until my computer tells me to put a
disk in the drive and I have done this numerous times. I wonder if there is
a solution for that?
Anyway, found the solution for the burning option...just had to go into the
registry and changed a 3 to a 2.
