What's a simple CD writer for Vista?

Hi

I want to put Data on a CD.

Most CD/DVD writers don't work on Vista.

Obviously depending on what you want to do with the writer - i think the built-in Explorer writer should be good enough for DATA, and then Windows DVD Authoring tool should be good for MOVIES, while Media Player should be ok for the MUSIC....

I heard the latest versions of Nero aren't particularly good.

Are you talking about writing software or the hardware?

Conan, Writing software.

cash_site, I tried writing a CD with Windows Vista. The software seemed to get stuck. It interfered with me using a 3rd party CD writer. I tried Burn4Free . It made a coaster. I tried another. It did not work with Vista. I think it was
CDBurnerXP pro.

Thank you all for replying.

Did the burner come with the computer? If so, what software came with it for burning?

Hi rik

the burner did not come with the computer. No software came with my PC for burning.

-take care

Hi Veronica,
i would probably try to uninstall all CD writing software from Add/Remove Programs...
then try to enable/fix the default Vista CD writing function...
Then, we can search around for a good quality Authoring software with more features.

Try that, let me know :D

Thanks :)
