since I haven't really touched microsoft computers at all for years now, I could do with a software recommendation for my girlfriend's computer.

Which free software do you all use for burning CDs?

    Oh I forgot to mention I need to burn an ISO image. Will WMP do this?

    I mainly use Nero, but on some computers at work I use the free CDBurnerXP

    Hold on, you need additional software to burn an ISO in Vista? I thought it was supposed to have caught up with MacOS by now. In can't think of an OS I use other than XP that can't burn ISOs out of the box.

    Oooooh! Epic Burn!

    No wait ... it's just a reg'lar run-of-the-mill anti-PC aowen post ;-) :grin:

    well XP burns CDs out of the box too, not very well of course... and in fact if your PC came in a box it would probably have had something pre-installed to burn CDs.

    The OS is only as good as what is installed on it, take a bare minimum linux distribution and burn me a CD... oh dear there wasn't room on the floppy disk for that so they left any CD burning software out...

    I hate Vista too but I'm in a bad mood :p

    The burningprogram from Vista can't be read by my Win98-laptop.

    I use Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009 - it's a free piece of software and looks and works almost exactly like Nero.
