	Well You need to put a clean disc in the drive drawer. Open your saved file File: Save as: Select My computer: Select D drive: Then it will ask you to confirm: Yes: Your burning software should then operate without opening the programme. Any probs, phone me, I'll pm you the house number again..lolol

	The alternative is to get a flash drive. Put it into a USB socket and copy the files onto it.

	AC, not all disc's can be overwritten, you'll need to check what type you have. Agree with KenSE - that's the best, and probably safest, option.

	hmmm - what Sue is alluding to is that when I went on holidays in October my lovely daughter in law went to my house with her neice, who has a cleaning company, and they did a deep clean - I'm rather messy you know - well all these months on I'm still looking for things!!!

	Use drop box or google drive much easier than faffing around with CD-R.
