Easy CD Creator

Hi all,

been having problems lately with the abopve - Im using version 4.
When I try to make a Data CD (JPEGS, from digital camera), it wont let me click and drag some files. I`ve tried all ways. EG. If I put 20 pics in a folder and try to drag that across, it might only transfer 10 or so of them. If I open the folder, and click and drag them across individually, it will let me with some, and not with others. DOesnt seem to discriminate on size or anything like that. Anyone any clues? Ta

My only tip would be to stop using Easy CD creator and use something like Nero.

I used Easy for a while as it came bundled with my first CD writer, but after it spat out more coasters than i have glasses, i tried nero and havent had a problem since.

well, I though about doing that but it just struck me as being a problem that has only just started to happen. Never had a coaster from it. Audio stuff burns perfectly. This has just started happening since Ive been trying to put downloaded pics from a digicam onto disc for archive, so wondered if it was something glaringly obvious that I was doing wrong

What happens when you try and drag a picture that doesnt appear? does it give you an error message of any kind or does it just not appear.

And can you open the pictures normally from the folder? Are they corrupted? and are you trying to drag straight from your camera?

I dont think any of the files are corrupt.
For example, on the Create Data CD layout page, I select the relevant folder that the files are in, and all the files appear in the top window.
When I try to click on the file in the top box, and drag it down into the bottom window (to create the CD), nothing happens. The file doesnt reappear in the bottom window. Like I say, it doesnt happen with all the files. I can click on another, perhaps, further down the list, and it will drag and drop perfectly.
If I select a picture that wont drop and drag, and try to open it, it looks fine. Indeed, it looks and has similar qualities to any other pic that *will* drag and drop.

Curiouser and curiouser!

and sorry, Nick - no - Im downloading the pics to a folder on the PC first. Im not trying to do it straight from the camera. Itsstuff that Ive fiddled about with in photoshop first (cropped, adjusted levels etc), then resaved as JPEGS and then saved to a folder
