Hi Janice,.
(a) have you tried using different DVD to burn backup files and check if it burns?
(b) your use of any third-party burning software on the computer?
(c) what is the size of the backup files that you try to burn on DVD?
(d) you are able to burn CD/DVD in Windows Explorer?
(e) you are able to perform the backup to internal hard drive? You cannot save to the C: drive, try to perform the backup on a different partition and check.
Try to uninstall the burning of third-party of the computer software and check. Also try using different DVD to back up files. I suggest you follow these methods and see if it helps:
Method 1: run this Microsoft fixit tool:
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems
Method 2:
Navigate to the following location and delete all the files and then try to burn the DVD and check if it helps:
C:\Users\(User Name) \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Burn\Temporary file Burn

My pc says that windows does not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM. It is said it can be repaired by using the original installation CD, but we do not have. Any ideas please?
The file is missing or corrupt is one of your files in the system registry.
By far, the best way to recover from this is to go to another computer and create a free Hirens Boot CD.
Download Hirens: <> http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ > (link at the bottom of the icon of the disk)

then follow the prompts. This wizard will return a copy of your registry database from backups that are stored with your system restore points.

Original title: problem e mail
I click on the links in the email and get a box that says: "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" and the link cannot be opened.
Suggestions;
1. make sure that your e-mail program is your default program.
2. make sure that your Internet Explorer, or your main browser has all its faults.
You can do both of the above by following these steps...
Start button > right column, click default programs > click Set Your Default programs...
1. click on your e-mail program > it doesn't say "this program has all its defaults"?
If not, click on choose by default for this program > check all boxes below the list > click on save when finished.2 do the same as above for your Internet Explorer, or your main browser.

iCloud says that he does not have enough available space
on the preferences photos if I click on iCloud library to automatically download pictures, he tells me I need to buy more space, I have about 20 GB of photos that are already stored in iCloud and I 26 GB of available storage, if need more than space, want just to make sure that any new photos get downloaded, but I can't check without having to buy more than space.
Add space to a month to complete loading - once it's finished to return to the lower space
