I have a Win 98 Pentium 550MHZ machine with 128 MG of Ram, 30, 10, and 8 Gig Hard Drives with a TEAC CD-RW Burner. Also I have Nero 5.0, EZ CD Creator 4.x and CloneCD. Recently I purchase some 16X 850 MG CD-R's. However, my current programs do notacknowledge any amount over 700 MG. Is there a program that allows a CD to burn more megs?

Hi,
to create such a CD you should use "overburn" feature

If you owe one of the following models:
CD-R58S
CD-R56S
CD-R56S4
CD-W54E
CD-W58E
CD-W512EB
CD-W512E
CD-W516E
CD-R50S
CD-R55S
CD-W512E
then you can overburn your CD with Nero software (you can download update patch at http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-1896417-100-5595507.html?tag=st.dl.10001-103-1.lst-7-2.5595507)
Or you can download shareware 30-days trial of Nero Burning ROM (v.5.5.2.4) at

If you can't still get around with overburning i recommend you to buy Click'n Burn Plus software - http://www.clicknburn.com

And do not forget:
While overburning the following problems can occur:

CD player doesn't recognize the disc
CD head bounces out of the groove
CD player can't find tracks after 80 minutes
CD can't be copied
CD can't be read (90+ minute CDs use a very tight groove)
CD created may contain same sector number twice
CD created may contain a sector with a negative number

Most of these problems will result in an unreadable CD. Worse, it is even possible that trying to record or play a 90+ min (850+MB) CD could physically damagethe CD player or recorder
