Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / May 2008music burner problem
i currently use musicmatch to burn my cd's. never had a problem before until i ininstalled jave, which i did reinstall it, and i uninstalled outlook express which i know is for mail. i currently installed mozilla firefox because my explorer freezes up on me all the time. now for some reason when i go to burn a cd, it goes thru all the motion and when i play the disc there is nothing on it. does anyone know what i can do to fix this? or what i might have done to cause this?? I use MusicMatch Plus, but only to play mp3's. I have never burned a CD with it. I prefer to use either Nero or Roxio. But MusicMatch has been sold to Yahoo and perhaps there is some conflict there. Every time I start MM up, I get an annoying Yahoo message that says *switch now* over to Yahoo. But that is obviously only for downloading pay mp3's and or listening to radio, etc. So.....do you not have Windows Media Player on your computer?? You can burn CD's with that as well. I happen to use Firefox as well but you CANNOT remove Outlook Express because it is part and parcel of Internet Explorer, which is why it is not working properly. I think you have made a rather bizarre mess out of your computer!! Oh well, Mike M will be along if he still has any hair or patience left, grin. He may be able to tell you how to fix it. I have some things up my sleeve, but until you get your MS IE and OE mess sorted out, not about to suggest anything. Just out of curiosity, why did you remove Java and OE??

How did you uninstall Outlook Express? This is an integral part of Win Me and cannot be uninstalled. I cannot help but given your multitude of problems wonder what damage you might have done to your system. Please post full details of what programs you have installed, uninstalled and updated, since your system last preformed correctly.

They are two different things. So which is it?? And there is NO Outlook/Outlook Express in Control Panel. Come back when you get your story straight. This is way too confusing!!

The problem is that other than one or two people, we all are using XP. Mike has both. And Outlook is also a *mail program* which is why you were confusing me. I have it on this computer but don't use it. Is it possible that either your CD drive or Musicmatch program have gone belly up? Mere coincidence, but a distinct possibility. Listen to what Mike has to say and do try and describe what you are seeing by way of error messages, etc. Heather > there was one that was in the add/remove programs part of the control > panel [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] >> >> > to >> >> > cause this?? You need to provide far more information about what you are trying to do, what you have done and what you are seeing including the full text of all error messages. Incidentally my apologies for my comment about Outlook Express. I forgot that in Win Me that uninstalling Outlook Express is an option (it is not in XP) and indeed can be uninstalled by unchecking the Outlook Express checkbox found at Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Windows Setup.

Please describe exactly what happens at each step including how you determine that you are unable to create a checkpoint. For the moment forget about Java, this has NOTHING whatsoever to do with system restore. Installing Mozilla should not have caused the problems you mention.

We'll just have to wait and see if she returns. I hope she does, and then we will hopefully get system restore working and then move on from there. I'd prefer to have the SR lifeline working before digging further. Cheers (K getting any sleep?) SignatureMike > Mike I know that things are very confusing at the moment with serena > but I think your last post went to the wrong thread <g> OK I only mentioned it because her post underneath is dealing with System Restore and this one was about her music burner problems so I thought perhaps you'd sent it to the wrong thread <g> As for Kelly I don't think she got much last night as he was apparently awake for most of it <g> they came over today for a while so I got the chance to actually hold him and got copies of all the photos she had on her camera put on here <g> Joan SignatureJoan Archer http://www.freewebs.com/crossstitcher http://lachsoft.com/photogallery > Joan, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> Mike I know that things are very confusing at the moment with serena >> but I think your last post went to the wrong thread <g> |
