Hi John
Not sure about my version, I never thnk much about it until it don't work, I
did a restore back before the problem started, but it did not fix it, I
have Roxio 9 on here and burn (Copy) disks all the time with no problem, it
seems to me I had to buy an add on in the past for this but I just can't
remember what, this machine was new in Dec/o4 and I don't know if MM was
doing DVDs then or not ?.
Anyway I will go check out that article and report back if it's fixed.
It's too bad microsoft used to be very dependable about downloads, Now they
seem to have hidden MM in service pack 2 and that's part of Vista !, Don't
know about the rest of you but it makes me sick Bill Gates has to charge soo
much to upgrade, They are really screwing us over now that they are
Billionaires ?.
