I've filed to a CD-R and the info can only be read by the HP CD Writer. When I put the CD disk into the computer's CD rom I get the message that the drive is not accessible. I thought CD writing would be easy but so far it's not.	Guest (0)

Hopefully you can learn more from that about what exactly it is/does and what its doing on your computer.	Guest (0)

As for 'back Web' get your self a copy of AD-Aware to remove spy ware like this..	Guest (0)

When you create a burn session (usually by selecting the option that you want to make a data CD) the software, opens a recording session, records the data, then does one of 4 things depending on your selected option. Leave Session open:- this means that only CD-R drives will be able to read the data on the CD until the session is closed, however it lets you continually add files to the session as if you had burnt all the files at once. Close Session, leave disk open:- This will let normal CD drives read the data, and although you can still burn more sessions to the disk at a later date, there is a certain level of overhead involved in having multiple sessions, and if you burn the same files in 1 session, it will require less space on the CD than burning in multiple sessions. Close Session, Close disk:- this closes the session, as well as the disk meaning that no further data can be recorded to the disk. Disk at Once:- This is pretty much the same as the last option, however it performs both tasks in one go, supposedly copy-protecting the disk, however not that Ive noticed. Perhaps someone else knows what it accomplishes? When you format a CD for Drag and Drop recording, it doesnt automatically close the disk unless you explicitly tell it to, personally I never use drag and drop, but from memory if you right click on the task-bar icon, there is an option to eject disk, and when you do it asks if you want to close the disk.
