    Have you looked at the Task Manager to see what's running, Val? Oh, just noticed the time on your post - probably it is sorted by now?

        Hi Val, You are having problems but then I think we all do. When I look back to my first PC in 1997 I wonder just what work I have put on to any PC. I am always like you sorting problems and the more that get sorted even more crop up.
        With this Windows Vista I have never been able to save to a CD so now use a Pen and an external hard drive.
        I don't get the same messages as you but I can never get a multisession as the PC tells me each time that the CD both + and - and RW, is full. I look at it via My Computer and it is blank and it has been formatted.
        I tried to use the Windows program, PowerToGo and later Nero 8 with the same problem. PC World sold me Nero 8 to sort the problem but when it did not work I went back and they told me that it was not compatible and I could not have my money back. Another program uninstalled and in a box on the floor with all my files.
        I think the CD's and Vista are incompatible but what to buy is a mystery.
        I have another program that I am thinking of trying it was a free one with a magazine 'Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009'.

          Margaret PC World sold me a usb adaptor that was useless for my Laptop I took it back and got my money back as they advised me to buy it.
          I have never had so many problems as Im getting now.
          I also get silly messages saying the discs are full when they arent, I may get Vista uninstalled and go back to Windows XP
