I can't backup my Quicken banking files to a CD RW or a DVD RW.

Thank you for helping

Before others jump, let me state you've given us readers absolutely NOTHING
to work with here.

My first question - did you put a CD or DVD in your computer and close the
drive? (My point is it's like going to a doctor and saying "I don't feel
well, what's wrong?")

You didn't say what your problem was, what version of Q or Windows/MAC
you're working with, any error symptoms or messages, etc etc etc.

More details man! And by the way,.although I've never had your problem, did
you Google the archives and read the MYRIADS of posts about this problem
that others have had over the years for what might be the same problem?
Many (but admittedly not all) problems that people have had with Q have
already been discussed here and a solution (or workaround, or just a 'live
with it' reply) has already been offered.

Sorry about the vague question. Let's see if I can get this right.

Running Vista on a Dell Inspiron 530, with Quicken 2007 Basic. When
attempting to backup Quicken banking, and putting a blank, formatted DVD-RW
into the CD-RW/DVD-RW drive, and clicking Backup in the Quicken program, I
keep getting error messages such as Error: Not Backed Up; Can't Read Disk;
etc. . . . however, I CAN backup to the external hard drive and also a flash
drive using this procedure.

Is there something I'm missing about backing up to a CD-RW or DVD-RW disk?

Ray

Does this CD-RW/DVD-RW drive works with other programs besides Quicken?
