I'm running Windows Vista 32 bit, Build 5384. I've seen alot of people having general problems with burning in Windows Vista. I had a huge amount of drama myelf, finding a program that will install, let alone run on Windows Vista 64 bit. After about 3 hours and alot of swearing I found Deep Burner. The basic version is free. It did the job for me. Burns files as well as making cd's & DVD's from ISO files. DeepBurnerPro.exe btw: I was trying to make an ISO of the normal 32bit Windows Vista after made 2 dvd's of the 64bit =/

Thanks for the tip onn Deep Burner. I am running build 5384 64-bit, and have ruined maybe 20 CDs trying to see if I could burn a playlist of odds and ends to a music CD using Media Player. I went to the extreme of doubling my RAM to 2 gigs. Even that didn't help. I finally succeded in burning a playlist of 11 assorted items (totalling about half the capacity of the CD), in which I left out any title on which Media Player had stopped and locked on previous attempts. Is this some kind of license issue? I've tried extremely hard to be sure those are all in proper status, but maybe there's something obscure happening. I'm wondering if anyone has insight on this issue.

Thanks for the tip. I'm running build 5384 which was installed as an upgrade. I guess I should have gotten the hint when the Roxio that came with the computer didn't make it throug the upgrade process, but I tried installing it from the CD anyway. Not only did it not install, but I still have 2 Roxio modules that I can't delete!

Yesterday I decided to give Deep Burner a try. It can't burn .wma files, but I found a free converter at http://www.jodix.com/ which will turn those into .mp3 files, which Deep Burner handles without a hitch. I went ahead and burned a CD with 22 titles on it without a hitch! Maybe there are file types Windows Media Player 11 doesn't like, maybe it has some very deeply hidden block to burning files for which it thinks you don't have the right certification (those licenses don't make it into Vista when you install it...so you are starting from scratch). All I know is that it couldn't burn a complete audio CD without locking the computer. So, it's Deep Burner and the Jodix converter for me when I want an unlikely mix to play in the car! http://www.jodix.com/ :)
