Windows DVD Maker

I Can't Find DVD Maker in Windows Vista!

Windows DVD Maker is available in Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate.  If you have another version, you can try upgrading through the Control Panel-Windows Anytime Upgrade, which will give you a good idea on the upgrade paths available.

In my case, I do have windows dvd maker. But when I run the program, it stops working and presents the "Not responding" message and closes. I never managed to open the program and use it's features. I even tried to reinstall it but I can't find it.
I have the minimum requirements, plus I run windows movie maker fine. I don't know what it might be. Please help.

Try opening 'Programs' and see if it's listed in there. Or, Search for it in the Start Menu's search bar. Otherwise, why would deleting the shortcut delete the application itself? It shouldn't, unless indeed this wasn't a shortcut but in reality the program.

It's strange, because I didn't even see or ever use the Windows DVD Maker on my computer (HP m8020n Media Center) in the last year I've owned it, but I just did a full System Recovery, and the program (Windows DVD Maker) was suddenly THERE in my programs.

But of course it won't work and says 99% complete and fails to burn. This is bullshit. I HATE these "easy, natural, & fun" applications that Windows Vista's creators have thrown at us. What the ***?!? Can anybody help fix or explain it in LAYMAN'S terms?? And why should we HAVE to exert all of this effort on 'fixing' stupid *** that we PAID for yet doesn't even work as it's supposed to??!!

Well, it just said that it completed the disc. Holy Crap. I have to see it to believe it. I'll let you know.

As for the other drives someone else mentioned, make sure you even have a DVD-burner drive and the correct blank DVD for your burner (good luck finding that out, if you kept your manual(s). I myself was able to choose the other DVD drive from the drop-down menu. THIS is the HP Lightscribe DVD drive I INSTALLED MYSELF in the expansion bay, NOT the ONE FACTORY-INSTALLED ON THE COMPUTER, so WHY wouldn't the factory-original LightScribe DVD SuperMulti Drive/CD-Burner burn this fucking dvd???!!!

I tried playing the 'finished' DVD-R in a DVD-RW/-R home recorder/player and it said 'disc error'.

So much for that!!

It asked if I wanted to make a copy. Oh, sure, what the hell- let's try wasting another DVD!
