Hi Yacthsman, Thank for that, but maybe I need to clarify, I've been using P2E for years, burning hundreds of DVD's as I am a wedding photographer. I know the program very well but for some reason, with version 5.5 and 5.6, it wont start to burn the disc, I get the error message that I've already attached. I've just tried to do a test project using 3 slides and again "Failed connection with burn.exe" I am having to use 5.0 at the moment until I can get an answer as to why 5.6 is causing me problem on 2 different machines. Yacthman, sorry to hear about your broken foot, my heart is broken with this problem. Cheers Tony.
