I'm unable to open or burn CD audio files on Windows Vista or Windows 7. - 08/30/18 06:07 PM
165. I'm unable to open or burn CD audio files on Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Symptoms:
- When you try to load in a CD audio file, you might get an error message "Sorry, cannot convert the file."
- When you try to burn a CD using MINIBurn (the burning software included with Band-in-a-Box®), you might get the error "There are no compatible CDR drives reported".
To resolve this problem:
- Close Band-in-a-Box® and navigate into the Band-in-a-Box® folder (usually C:\bb).
- Right-click on the file "STOMBBx.exe" and select Properties.
- Click the Compatibility tab and set it to run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2.
- Press Apply. You should now be able to open/import CD audio files into Band-in-a-Box®.
For the burning issue, repeat the steps above for the file "miniburn.exe". There is a good chance that it will solve this issue as well, however if not, you may in fact have a burner that MINIBurn is not compatible with. If this is the case, you 'll need to just use your third party burning software (usually comes free with computers/optical drives).
