Nancy, Sorry to ask and be annoying but I missed that thread….what’s the snapping tip ?

I have been out all day and still not home so can’t take up too much time on this system but will check back later when I’m home. Thanks

Jodi,

I had mentioned that using Unsharp Mask with a low setting amount (somewhere around (10-30) and a very high radius (way to the right) often improves the look of my images with this global contrast enhancement.

I have a Dell, but it’s a couple of years old. Not sure what they are doing now.

If it’s an XP machine, I would expect that the internal XP software would take over. I put XP on this machine and it will use, without or direction, the built in software to burn a CD.

It simply opens a folder where you drop the files to be written and then you click on write to CD to finish the job. At least on CD/Rs it does not do a "format" that I now of.

I’ve not tried it with a CD/RW.

Thanks for post Dick.

But that is odd about XP opening a folder to write files to. I use WinXP but with a blank CD in the CD-RW drive XP will not allow me to copy or "drop" a file in to the CD-RW drive(access denied message). I can’t even explore a blank CD-R (access denied message there too) because there is no information on the CD until it has been formatted and a directory created.

I have no problem burning CD-R’s or RW’s either data or music but must use "Record Now" software or "Easy CD Creater". Maybe there is something about XP I don’t know?

Pete,

I’ve never had that problem. I have the XP native software, Roxio CD Creator 5 and BurnQuick on my machine.

Any time I put a blank cd/r in the drawer, I get a pop-up window that asks me if I want to "open a writable folder" in XP or use Roxio to create the CD.

Burn Quick is imbedded in the right click menus. Just right clicking on a file will allow me to burn it directly to a CD/R with no trouble.

I wish I could be of more help.

Dick,

Yeah, I am starting to come to the realization that HP has altered the XP as far as the CD writing. Going to have to go look at someone elses XP machine but I think I know what I will find. No wonder I could not understand what that guy found on that Dell machine.
