Hi Richard. I followed your directions re copying files to CD. I am tryning
to copy pictures. My xp program does not seeem to have the following. "If the
files are located in My Pictures, under Picture Tasks, click Copy
to CD or Copy all items to CD, and then skip to step 5." The access to the
CD is not there. This is a new Dell with Sonic installed. Any ideas as to
how I could access the copy to CD instruction.
