I'm trying this again....this might be the right section.

Win98 and CD-RW problem, here....

I have a father in-law who is 79 years old and refuses to learn any OS other than Win98. He bought a new HP Pavilion and had the XP removed and Win98 installed in its place.

The problem...some of you CD-Geeks probably already know what I'm going to ask....but here goes anyway....is that now his CD Writer is only recognized as a CD reader.

I've tried using Nero Express and such, but Windows itself will only recognize a reader.

I know I'm probably going to get flamed for this one, but I didn't do it! Honestly! I'm just trying to be a good 'puter helper.

If any of you don't mind sharing your expertise, I'll be wholly grateful.

Thank-you.
