Feel like an idiot! Help!

I have been sitting here trying to figure out how to burn a stupid cd/dvd. I have a dell computer with Sonic burner because that's what it comes with. I am wanting to burn some pictures to a disk I I can't figure out what to do. I have both DVD RW and CD RW.
Can you help?

Do you want these pictures to be played in a slideshow on a DVD or do you just want to store them onto a CD?

[BIGMAC]

either
I would like to know how to do both though.

well you will probably need to use 2 different programs to do the 2 things. Sonic MyDVD lets you create a slideshow and you just select what pictures you want and then it'll walk you through the burn process.

For burning pictures you should open your cd burning software. You want to burn a new data cd and then it should let you select which files you want to burn and it should walk you through the burn process.

I would need to know more info about which program you are using to burn or if you can take screen shots of it I could walk you through it.

ok just successfully burned a cd. Now if I can make the slideshow. I can make the slide show but when I hit burn it says no media found or something like that.

help?

you have to put a blank DVD into the drive. That sounds like the problem.

You need to know what version your DVD burner is a + or - then buy the blank DVDs that correspond.

I had one in there. It was a brand new dvd and I think the correspond. Hmmm I haven't had time to try it again but I see if I can figure it out. Thanks for the help!!

let me know what happens next time you try. Take screenshots with the error and I'll see if I notice anything.
