    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Best CD burning program?

I've lost a CD that had a number of screenshots on it. The tech at the computer shop recommended a program called CD Burner XP that burns images onto a CD in lieu of the proprietary software available in the Windows 7 Home Premium package I'm running on my computer. The problem I'm running into is my Avira anti-virus shows the CDBurnerXP.se website to be a virus/malware website. This may be a false positive but in lieu of this morning's news about Kaspersky I'm inclined to take another look elsewhere first for similar software.

Does anyone know of a decent freeware program that will copy screenshots from the "pictures" library to a CD?

The best tool out there and neither Antivir nor Firefox complain about the website.

There's a first time for everything, I guess . . .

Thanks, Sue. That link you sent me resulted in the first download since I began this thread where my AV program didn't ping on it. We'll install it and see what happens. I'll read the manual but I may want to ask you a few "reality" questions before I start.

EDIT: I'm up and running. I'm not installing audio, of course; but what are screenshots considered to be - a "data CD?"
 
Well there are 3 types of CD / DVD. Audio. Data. And ISO. So your screenshots must be 'Data' (bmp, jpg). I use 'DeepBurner'. It works for CD or DVD on *x-R, *x-RW, type (but not on *+R, *+RW) plus DVD-Ram. For Home user it's Free. It's only 2.7 Mb. Link: https://downloads.tomsguide.com/Deepburner,0301-836.html (page has lots of ads, but Tom's Hardware is a very good site and can be trusted, where other may not be). Good luck.

Like I've said: Absolutely no complaints here.

Try an alternate download source. I can find a dozen or so on trusted sites (all in German though).
 
I don't get the need to use anything that Windows doesn't do. I always use Explorer to burn a CD or DVD. I also use NOD 32. If you get a hit with your AntiVirus and you know the site to be safe just shut it down and save it to your desktop, then start your protection back and scan it.
