When I double-click an application icon, a message such as 'You must insert the application CD into your
drive' appears and the software does not start
❑ Some titles require specific files that are located on the application CD-ROM.
Insert the disc and try starting the program again.
❑ Make sure you place the disc in the tray with the label side facing outwards.
Why does my CD/DVD-RW not record at the highest speed?
For the CD-RW drive, you must use 24x CD-R or 10x CD-RW media to achieve optimum performance.
For the DVD-RW drive (depending on your model*), you must use 8x CD-R and 4x CD-RW or 2x DVD-R or 2x
DVD-RW media to achieve maximum performance.
If you want to use other media and are having difficulty formatting the disc with the above speeds, change
the writing speed to a lower setting.
To change the writing speed from the default to a lower speed, proceed as follows:
1 Go to My Computer from the Start menu.
2 Right-click the disc drive icon.
3 Select Properties.
4 Select the Recordings tab.
5 Under Desktop CD/DVD recording, change the current writing speed to 4x or 2x (for the DVD-RW).
6 Click OK.
The speed is changed and recording should run smoothly.
* See the printed Specifications leaflet for details.
