Windows XP never supported burning to DVD +/- R/RW media, only CD.
Therefore - what you are seeing may be a normal consequence of this
fact. For DVD +/- R/RW authoring in Windows XP you have always
needed (and will always likely need) third party software.

Since you do have a DVD-RAM drive (for reasons only you know) I feel
obliged to ask what happens when you insert a DVD-RAM disc for writing?

In any case - this is a quirk caused by the lack of support (which is likely
to continue for Windows XP as it is a dead OS for all intents and purposes
of support and future development beyond security patches) for
DVD +/- R/RW burning.

DVD-RAM, however, was strangely supported... Thus my query about what
happens when you insert a DVD-RAM disc? Although the original list of
actually supported drives does not include yours. ;-)

Windows XP supports the DVD-RAM file systems

And, in some part:

And the problem you describe is not, by any means, new (Google - it works):

You guys... *grin*

It's very simple, follow the trail.

The accusation of SPAM was made by VanguardLH towards the original poster
(DaffyD�) because of their lack of removing the outgoing eSet NOD32
signature additive:

"__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus
signature database 4845 (20100207) __________
The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus.
http://www.eset.com"

Which got added every time DaffyD� responded (excluding the last, guessing
they understood the accusation and were asking rhetorically) in addition to
it having been there from the beginning because of the lack of a
recognized/common signature delimiter.

It's one of those annoying defaults most who utilize their purchased
products actively tend to remove rather quickly. ;-)

Yep. And now I see you did not append the "ESET NOD32 Antivirus" spam in
your post.
