Hi Noralie,
Welcome to the Microsoft community.
It seems that you are facing problems while burning the disc using Windows Media Player. It would be great if you can answer the following questions:
1 have had any changes made on the computer before the show?
2. What is the full and exact error message?
3. what type of disc you are trying to burn?
To resolve this issue, follow these methods:
Method 1:
I suggest to see the link and try to run the Troubleshooter:
Open the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter

I can't burn my CD on Windows Media Player error "connect a burner and restart the player.
I have a bunch of files music m4a songs bought on iTunes that are on the Windows Media Player. I insert a blank CD, and he refuses to burn the songs. I put it in my laptop, go to the option burn and it says "connect a burner and restart the player ' and doesn't read that there is a CD in there, even if there is. Even if I put all the songs I want in it, it won't work. I need help.
No problem, at least it's a step forward that it is not only the media player.
At this point if the CD-ROM drive does not at all, it could be a couple of things.
- First of all, just make sure under the folders under the view tab Options, that the "hide empty drives" is not selected. It could make your CD-ROM writer hidden just because there is no data in there at the moment.
- The drive appears not could also be that it is disconnected, but it's not terribly likely.
- Check Device Manager to see if the CD drive is listed, and if she has any warnings associated with it. You can open the Device Manager by performing a search in the search box of the start menu. Locate the CD drive in the list, and then double-click it to view the status. He can say everything is fine, or can provide details on all issues. Also, while you're here, you can check an updated driver. But this brings me to the next point...
- If the driver he is already up to date, it is interesting to watch your your model computer manufacturer Web site see if they have a newer version. Sometimes Device Manager detects outdated drivers and uses, when the manufacturer's website has something more recent.

Original title: CD burning with Windows Media Player in Windows 7
When I try to burn an audio CD with Windows Media Player, I get the message "connect a burner and restart the player.
I am able to burn audio CDs using ITunes, so I don't think that my CD/DVD burner is defective.
Thanks for your help. The "fix it" has not worked, but I checked the settings of my Nero 8, Nero Toolkit, Nero Burn Rights program, and he was the one who said "everyone has burn rights" or "nobody burn rights. When I changed the option to "everyone", everything started to work properly.

Original title: WMC no longer works after update of August 10
Windows Media Center has stopped working after installation of my Windows 7 Professional pc all 11 updates gave me on August 11, 2010. I used system restore to the day before the updates, and install them individually. The first 9 no trouble with WMC. But the IE8 KB982664 for Windows 7 compatibility view list caused my action center to report that I needed to check the undeclared solutions to problems. WMC would still start. But after installing KB983590 .NET framework 3.5.1 for Windows 7 x 86, WMC has stopped working.
After you uninstall update 2 above WMC would still not start.
After using the system again restore forward updates, I installed the other 9 updated with, so far, no problem with WMC.

I'm having a problem with Windows Media Center. It starts no problem, but when I click on recorded TV, it says that "Windows Media Center has stopped working, seeking resolutions... "If I click on TV guide there is no problem. I tried a restore, but for some reason any restore function has been disabled.
(copy - paste from another thread - user has same question):
You has not, coincidentally, happens to record last Friday (I think it is?) episode of human target (what happened to be replaced by a House reruns), did you?
Reason I ask: it has been a little traffic on to thegreenbutton on the subject these days - and everyone who reported also arrived to try to save human target. Somehow, the file finished with metadata is corrupted, what makes MC crash when you enter recorded TV (at best, it crashes when you select the program from the list.)
FIX: Open Explorer and go to C:\users\Public\Recorded TV. Find and remove "human Target__ "(exemple: «La Target_WDIVDT_2010_10_01».) ".
Start Media Center, and then try again. Fixed?HTH,

My wireless mouse just stopped working. I can still use the mousepad however. I changed the batteries does not. Then I tried another mouse wireless, and it didn't work either. What can I do next?
Buy an inexpensive wired USB mouse for less than $5 and see if it works. As far as I'm concerned wireless mice are more trouble than they are worth. YMMV :-)
Good luck.

Windows Media Player won't let me burn CD, "connect a burner and restart the player."
I use to be able to copy CDs on my computer. Windows Media Player now, says "connect a burner, then restart the player."
There must be something simple that I know, I'm just bad at computers :)
Hello
Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
a process that solves the problem.Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
below.
Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
