Trying to burn CDs, won’t work
I’ll give a little background info before diving into the problem: Randomly got the itch to try to burn CDs again but it won’t work. I haven’t used this laptop in years but it’s working fine. I used to burn CDs on iTunes but when I was last using this laptop regularly iTunes had stopped working and I never was able to fix it (still can’t). So I only have Windows Media Player, and I can’t download something different since I can’t access the internet because I don’t have any web browsers on here that are still supported lol.
Also, yes the disc drive can burn CDs, I bought CD-Rs, and the settings are set to Audio CD not Data CD.
Okay so on Windows Media Player the “Start burn” button is grayed out and below that it says “Connect a burner and restart the player”. When I tried the only 2 fixes I could find for this, on both of them there ended up being a step where I was supposed to click on something and it wasn’t there. The first one was to enable to IMAPI CD burning services: services > IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service - that was nowhere on the list. The second one was reinstalling the CD/DVD drive: it said go to device manager and then click on “DVD/CD-ROM drives but that wasn’t on there.
I’m not the best at this stuff so I could just be missing something idk, but does anyone know how I can make this work with these circumstances?
