I have a Sony VAIO running Windows XP, I go to burn a music CD with Windows Media Player and it gets to track three or four and stops burning, it states that the files won't fit. I have made certain that the files are under 74min total, and it still doesn't work. I then installed Roxio Easy CD Creator Basic 5 onto my machine. If I try to burn anything it works and burns about half the CD then comes up with an error. Could not write command or invalid command, etc. I have no clue what the problem is, I even tried using my buddy's CD burner in my computer.

1. Have you installed the Windows XP CD burner related updates?

2. When you installed Roxio, did you install the 2 updates for XP posted at their site, and follow the installation sequence, including re-boots?

If not, that is what you need to do.
First, run a Windows update, and install all compatability updates.
Review the other recomended and driver updates, and install those that you really need.

If you want to use Easy CD Creator 5, download ind install the updates from Roxio.
