Here's the deal.

* - Windows ME, 98 1st Edition, Windows 2000(I have tried each of these)

* - CDRWIN v 3.8E

* - HP CDWRITER 9100i 8/4/32x

* - PIII 1 ghz

Ok I have tried to do this on each of the OS's. Whatever OS I was on, I downloaded the appropiate drivers for my Burner and CDRWIN. I followed the CDRWIN tutorial on this website, vcdhelper.com. I am trying to burn VCDs, I load the cuesheet, select start recording, and it burns just fine "Operation Completed Successfully". I did not change any of the settings in any part of CDRWIN. After it is done burning I explore the VCD in Windows Explorer. It says that the CD has data on it but there are no files to be seen. I have the "show all system and hidden files" option on so I know that is not hidden. The Label of the CD is just "CD" and the file system is CTFS. I have tried to burn VCDs and Dreamcast Games with CDRWIN but so far nothing has worked. If anyone can help me solve this problem please reply. Your help will be truly appreciated. Thank You in advance.

This is a very common problem if you have cracked cdrwin...if you have payed for it contact golden hawk.

Yeah my CDRWIN is cracked. So are you saying that if I don't crack it, it should work?

The designer of CDRWin has designed the software in a way that if you try to use a crack, the burn process makes you think everything went perfectly. But in reality it makes coasters. This is the programmer's way of punishing people that try to use cracks. If you like the program, buy it and save yourself the headaches. There are cracks out there on the net that claim they work, but why take the risk of wasting more CD's?

I heard about this *bug* introduced into the program, in later versions, might i suggest to you that you try to locate version 3.8c (no problems with a *cough* not purchased copy)

Allright i'll try and get a earlier version of CDRWIN. What about FireBurner, is that I program worthy of attention? All I need to do is burn .bin and .cue files, so is FireBurner something I should try. Will FireBurner also punish me for using a crack? Thanks for your replies guys.
