Here's an idea, take your xmas photo's from xmas 08,(mine is of outside & inside lights & decorations) put into slide show/movie maker, then into DVD maker, add carols etc. I put mine in red or green sleeves and they will go into family cards, about the 10th. of Dec., too early for 09's pics. but not many changes anyway, one added item each year for us...my DVD's turned out great, even added opening card and closing card,with mesage from us very kewl!! now family can play in DVD player on TV screen, added 5 carols, show runs about 15mins.

Coho, I posted on the other thread before I saw this. Several years ago, I purchased a computer that had Norton installed. I could not burn a DVD on that computer until after I removed every trace of Norton. When I called Tech support at Norton, they told me that it was a known problem, and sent me a refund check. That was many years ago however, and I wouldn't think they would still be having that problem.

"Coho, it just seems strange that both of your computers would have this problem at the same time, and since the CDs work ok it just seems to point to the DVDs as the problem. I have found that some of the blank cheaper brands of DVDs do seem to have a higher failure rate when they get older. I no longer store anything that I want to keep only on DVDs, but make sure I have copies on external hard drives." As do I. I would much rather send a DVD to Alaska family than my external drve. Guess will reinstall Windows in about 2 weeks unless someone comes up with a better way. Thanks
