Yes of course, the desktop is Windows XP and the Laptop is Windows Vista. Thank You for your advice. Cheers

On my desktop computer, when i open IMGBURN and click on "write files/folders to disc" and then click on "browse for a file" i get a choice of look in: desktop-my recent documents-my computer-system c (see my attachment c). On my laptop computer, when i open IMGBURN and click on "write files/folders to disc" and then click on "browse for a file" i don`t get the same i get what`s in my attachment v Is there something i should set on the laptop? Thank You

Thank You for your information. In reply-(1) DVD Flick goes to IMGBURN automatically-"set target to a HDD folder?" how is this done-what is HDD folder?? (2) IMGBURN erases any disc automatically.At times IMGBURN says the disc needs formatting.(3) Like DVD Flick no need to select PAL OR NTSC??. The process of creating a DVD is successful whether through DVD Flick or IMGBURN

I upgraded the firmware TN02 successfully, but the problem is still there. Closing session failed is the main problem. It just hangs around saying closing session for a long time until i get the option to retry or continue. When i click continue it closes. My screen shot shows the yellow icons where "no seek complete" is. To me "no seek complete" could mean i haven`t done something to complete the session?? The log is included.

(2) I put a brand new empty verbatim dvd disc in but it still had to be erased taking a long time?? (3) So IMGBURN processes any movies taken on a digital camera-no formatting??

Thank You. I remember some time ago i did a burner firmware update on another computer and it caused some problems. Being quite new to this do you mind if i double check that the TN02 is quite safe to download and would be free of problems??

Update your burner's firmware (remove any disc and close the tray before updating then reboot after it's finished) and try again. Thank You for your prompt reply. I have downloaded the latest version of IMGBURN. So, it appears that i would click on TN02 version to update firmware, is that correct??

At the final part of burning,IMGBURN says, Closing session failed -reason-no seek complete. I wait for a long time and after a lot of trying to cancel i get the disc out and close. The DVD burns ok and plays, but i don`t know what this 'no seek complete" is. Any ideas? Log included> 11:08:05 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

I`m trying to copy a DVD and then burn it to another DVD but i get a message saying " disc has not enough space". Does Imgburn have provision to get around this. It`s a DVD i bought.
