Thank you for the info, Ken. Yes, I have visited the forum, etc. I am just missing some little step somewhere. I have created a S/S in Nero without the use of PTE, but just haven't been fully successful in PTE/Ulead yet. From prior postings, I understand that using PTE trial is not a problem. I think my problem is in saving the created file, and subsequent burning. Perhaps my brain is fuzzy after all these years. jhowchou
