Default burning pics to cd

I run windows vista and yesterday for the first time i needed to put some pics onto a cd, so like normal i open up my computer, double click on the drive with the blank cd in and drag my pictures onto it, the pc then shows its trying to put them across but then goes on to freeze, its comes up with windows explorer is not responding, so open task manager and close it from there but all it does is freeze the machine up completly, any ideas ??

if your printer can print discs, thenyou should have a program for that printer that you use

you then get a pic of a disc and you can add a pic to it, bit like paintt, but in its own way

WTF you talking about? He doesn't want to burn an image onto the surface of a CD-R, he wants to put picture files onto a CD

Coswurv - Welcome to Windows Vista Looks good on paper, doesn't work tho.....

Just use a burning app, like Nero - it'll be faster and easier to manage than using Windows folder burning...

Not sure what issue of Nero you have, but I use Nero 6, which is a complete burning suite - music, data, pictures, video etc....

I don't use Vista, but this program might/should do what you want to do;

You should just need to make a DATA DISC and select the pictures you want to put on it and press BURN.

That I couldn't tell you, as I haven't downloaded it since I don't run Vista. Judging by the site, I wouldn't have thought so. Plus it's freeware, which if they spyware riddle it, kinda defeats the purpose of it being freeware
