    O.K. this is going to sound dumb dumb dumb but believe it or no this is my first effort at copying digital pictures to a cd.

    I'v looked around this site for the answer not wanting to bother anyone but I can't find what i need.

    So I downloaded about 50 pictures, jpg's from my digital camera and my sister wants me to burn them to a cd for her. Sure I'll just do that I said.

    An hour later I figure I'm not doing something right.

    I run XP with Office and Sonic digital media and CopytoDVD, none of which wants to let me do this. Is there something I'm missing?

    Help!

    Maybe your overlooking an obvous point here.
    You mention you are copying Jpegs to Cd then mention using Copytodvd, is this compatible with Cds as well, and if so do you need to change the media type in the software.
    You should be able to just copy pics over as you would any data to a cd and just use the windows software, otherwise try nero.
    Sorry can't help too much on your software as I don't use it.

    1.Insert Blank CD-R into your burner.
    2.A blank box should pop up, with no files in it.
    3.Drag and drop the pictures into the burner's open window(sorry for large image res)

    4.When done dragging the files hit the write these files to cd button.

    5.Go through the little wizard, then your cd will be burned.

    Sean, thank you so much for replying and making it so clear.

    I had to enable cd burning for that drive. The blank media was not sensed so I had to turn on the burn cd fuction through right click/properties.

    Thanks for the help.
