After yesterday's article someone wanted to know what is used at the beach house to manipulate blank CDs and DVDs. I like Nero, but the price is a slap to the face. Utterly ridiculous to pay such a large sum of money when there are better programs for free. I use a freeware program called CDBurnerXP. WARNING: If you use Windows 7 don't download the version 4.3 beta. Stick with version 4.2.6 beta and you'll find that Windows 7 will be happy. There is a wealth of information about this issue and many other things about this great program. The help section is very well written if you have problems. The forum is also good. Also, make sure Microsoft's .net is up to date. If you are using Automatic Updates the .net stuff should be okay. If you are not doing your updates then why are you reading this post!?!?!? Get thee to Window's Updates and do it - all of them! The beach house has used this great cd/dvd program for years without any problems. CDBurnerXP will do the .ISO dance too. Remember, you download at your own risk so don't whine if you screw it up. They will accept donations so send them some money if you like this program; that is if you have any nowadays. Hope this helps.
