If you have Windows 2000/XP installed on your PC, such actions are forbidden by the group policy by default. Our plugin works without admin rights with the following group policy configuration: Enable the following setting: Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies/Security Options | Devices | Devices: Restrict CD-ROM access to locally logged-on user only. Now you can burn without admin rights! The plugin indicated the absence of free space on the disk. But I’m absolutely sure that there is a lot of free space there! Do you use some programs (like Alcohol 120%) to emulate CD/DVD drives? If we have understood you in the right way, we can advice you the following way out: In Alcohol 120%: Options > Disable option “Ignore Media Type” This option forces other software to ignore either the disc is CD-R or CD-RW, recognising it as a CD-ROM disc (with no free space).
