I need to burn dvd with phptos and vidio on the one disk

Hi,
  • Click on "Start" in the lower left-hand corner of the desktop screen. Then select "All Programs," "Accessories" and "Windows Explorer."
  • Open the DVD burner tray and insert a blank DVD or CD. Close the tray.
  • Navigate to the hard drive that has the files to be burned. Click on the files or folder to be burned, and drag to the DVD burner drive icon in Windows Explorer.
  • Select "File," then "Write these files to CD." Ensure that all the files that need to be written to the CD or DVD are on the list in the temporary files area that can be found in Windows. The CD writing wizard will open; follow the instructions in the wizard.
  • Remove the CD or DVD when finished and apply label. Close drive tray.
Thanks, SF

How can I change work written in Microsoft Word Office and put on a CD so that it can be opened up on a MAC computer? I have written two books about my life. One is based on my life from 1929 to 1984 and...

The two of you may be running different versions of Microsoft Word,
with you having created some documents in a "newer" version than she is using.

The solution: open each document, and click "File" and then "Save As".
Under the "file name" input-area, there is a "save as type" pull-down.
Choose "rich text format". Save the file.

The "RTF" ("rich text format") was designed to be _highly_ portable,
without losing the text-formatting that you have done,
and she should have no problems with reading RTF files into Word.

How do i burn cds from computer?what do i eedto do?

1. Have a CD-burner or a DVD-burner (internal or external) on your computer.

Click with the SECOND (usually the RIGHT) mouse button on any

The CD's I make no longer play in my car and other regular CD players. They are getting embedded in a folder and then burning. I did make sure they are ripping to mp3, not wma. Is there a setting I need to...

Are you writing a "data" CD, with many MP3 files,
or are you using Windows Media Player to burn a "music" CD?
Windows Media Player will convert the MP3 files back to WAV files.

The CD-reader in your car cannot read MP3 files -- it can only read WAV files -- commercial CDs are written as WAV files.

When you put the CD into your computer, how many megabytes of the disk are "used", and how many "tracks" are there on the CD?

I am trying to download a free trial copy of M.S office 2007

This is not my work. I simply complied the work of others for your convenience.

DOWNLOAD LINK:  http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3805420/Microsoft_Office_2007_With_Genuine_registry_entity_enabler or Direct download: http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/3805420/Microsoft_Office_2007_With_Genuine_registry_entity_enabler.3805420.TPB.torrent
Note, this Second Edition DOES NOT make any changes to Office 2007 (see below).  This is a full version of Microsoft Office 2007 (US English Only) packed into a CD image (.uif) containing:  * Microsoft Office  Enterprise 2007 -  Access 2007 -  Excel 2007 -  Groove 2007 -  InfoPath 2007 -  OneNote 2007 -  Outlook 2007 -  PowerPoint 2007 -  Publisher 2007 -  Word 2007 ^  Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2007 ^  Microsoft Office Project 2007 ^  Microsoft Expression Web (new FrontPage) *  The "Make Office Genuine" Registry Entities only works for Office Enterprise. ^ You will not be able to do Genuine Updates from Office Update if Viso, Project, or Frontpage are installed. The serials are written in by the launcher application, if there are problems they're also in the readme file inside the CD image. All the products don't need activation, therefore you do not need a keygen, this is not a trial, it lasts forever. Windows Update does work with this Microsoft Office 2007, but if you want to do "Genuine Office Updates," you need to use the Registry Pack for Office 2007 to make Office truly genuine. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows XP SP2 or later (Vista compatible) (64-bit compatible with limitations) Processor: 500Mhz RAM: 256MB Disk Space: ~2GB Install Notes: Please burn file with MagicISO or Mount as a CD with MagiDisk For support with Microsoft Office 2007 visit http://office.microsoft.com/ Second Edition: *Launcher updated v1.2 - Increased chances of serials being inserted by launcher - Version number in launcher *Launcher.ahk changed to Launcher.txt for easier opening. *Registration Entities added -Allows you to make your copy of Office 2007 Enterprise genuine, so you can do official Office updates from Windows/Office Update. -Please read the Informational Readme file under MAKE OFFICE GENUINE for more info. NOTE: This is a compilation of the registry pack and the torrent Microsoft_Office_2007_Complete_Version. This is not my work. I simply complied the work of others for your convenience.

I am trying to burn a disk with my Dell 4300 Computer. When I in

1) Insert a Blank CD-R into your CD Drive and push the button to close the door.
2) Wait a moment for the What do you want Windows to do? box. If
this box does not appear, you can open the Windows Explorer by
double-clicking the My Documents icon or the My Computer icon
on your Desktop.
3) When asked What do you want Windows to do?, click Open
writable CD folder using Windows Explorer.
4) Once the Windows Explorer opens, click on the link on the left that
says My Documents to get to your My Documents folder.
5) To copy everything in the My Documents folder to CD, click Edit
and then click Select All. All the folders and documents on the
right will be selected.
a) Note: If you only want to copy certain files/folders to CD, hold the Ctrl
key on your keyboard to select only the files / folders that you want to copy.
6) Once your files are selected, click Copy the selected items on the
task pane on the left side of the window. (If you do not see these
words on the left, click the Folders button once.)
7) When the Copy Items box appears, select the CD Drive (D:) and
click Copy.
8) Once the files are finished copying, you will see a balloon in the
bottom right corner of your screen saying that You have files
waiting to be written to the CD.
9) If you are only copying you’re My Documents folder to CD, you
can click that yellow balloon to complete the CD burning process.
Note: If you do not see that balloon, wait a few more moments. If you still
do not see it, click on the My Computer link on the task pane on the left,
then double-click the D: drive. Then proceed with the next step.
10) Clicking the balloon will bring you to the D: drive and you will see
2
the files you have copied under the Files Ready to Be Written to the CD section.
11) On the left, click Write these files to CD.
12) You will be asked to type a CD name. This simply gives the CD a name and is optional (16-
character limit).
13) Click Next.
14) When the CD Writing Wizard is complete, your CD will be ejected and you will see a box telling
you that you have successfully written the files to the CD. Click Finish.
15) To ensure that the files have been successfully written to the CD, insert the CD again and wait a
moment. The CD and its contents should appear on your screen after a few seconds.
You can continue to copy files to this CD until the CD is full. When the CD is full, you will be told so by
Windows. CD’s cannot be erased. Once a file is copied to a CD, it is permanently there.
The files that you have copied to CD are Read-Only. This means that you cannot make changes to a
file on the CD and save those changes directly back to the CD. If you want to change a file on the CD,
you must open the file, save it to your PC’s hard drive (My Documents or Desktop folders are
recommended), then follow the steps above to copy the file back to the CD, clicking Yes when asked if
you want to replace the file on the CD with the new one.
