Dianne,
I would suggest trying Nero Burning Software and drop
the easy cd creator. I have always had great results from Nero as compared
to Easy Cd Creator which in my opinion is shaky to begin with. Nero is rated
as one of the best CD burning software available and you can try it for
free. Heres the link. www.nero.com.
Good luck and happy burning.
