Hi all.
I have an LG Super Multi DVD/CD burner that runs with Nero 6.
In the past I have never had any problem is selecting files to copy off my HD and burn to a CD.
The other day I down-loaded a small 8 MB game from the net that came as an EXE file which I dutifully placed into a self created 'Quarantine' folder to Vet before burning it to a CD for a neighbours child to play on his PC.
It does not matter how much I tried, the file would not show up/be recognised in the Quarantine folder allowing me to burn it.
I moved the file to a number of other locations but Nero would not/could not see the file in that folder/s.
This has not happened before. I pointed Nero to recognise all files, from the drop down menu in the Nero program still no joy.
Any suggestions?
Regards

Re: .EXE file not recognised for burning
Not sure what is causing your problem, but what happens if you give it a different extension - say.doc. If that works, you can copy it to the neighbours hd then change it back. Also ensure that the file name is no longer than 8 letters and does not contain spaces or illegal characters.

Re: .EXE file not recognised for burning
Thanks Chris.
Problem solved. It looks like it may have ben the length of the name. I renamed it by adding a short description in front of the 'original' file name for identification purposes.
When I removed 'my addition' the file was recognised by Nero and the burn went well. Another lesson learned.
