Thank you Ben Myers for your helpful reply.
I tried to locate GDA2 but couldn't find the free one, do you happen to
have
the web address?
I found CCleaner and will use it on the registry.
This problem started after I installed the Microsoft Backup off the
WindowsXP CD. Before, I
would use the right click "send to" with no problem. Being a senior
citizen
and novice at computers, I'm not
sure what CD/DVD burner I am using. Where can I locate what burner I am
using? With the "send
to" or the Microsoft backup I just send the file to the CD/DVD drive using
one of these.
Thanks again.

How long has this been going on? Just before it started, did you make
any
changes to the system hardware or software?

The stop code of 0x000000&E is not in Microsoft's list of known stop
codes, so
you can't rely on them for help. So what else is new? Even when
Microsoft
explains a stop code, the help they provide is well nigh useless. BSODs
with
stop codes, by and large, are Microsoft's way of saying "We really do
not
know
what the hell is going on," once again a sign of not very robust
operating
system software design and a lack of comprehensive management of system
hardware
by Windows.

Here are a few possibilities:

1. Very often, a stop code is the sign of failing hardware. Determine
the
manufacturer and model of hard drive, the most likely culprit. Either
download
the drive manufacturer's diagnostics or download the very nice and free
HDA2.
With HDA2, you can examine the SMART statistics, which include
reallocated
disk
sectors and other indicators of a failing drive. The mfr's diagnostics
can do a
full surface scan, and also replace any bad sectors with spares. If
there
is
even one bad sector, consider replacing the drive, 'cause it will only
get
worse.

2. Well, maybe Windows is just plain screwed up. This is not unusual.
A
good
system cleanup including the registry may well get Windows straight
again,
just
like a good laxative. CCleaner is a very reliable and very free
registry
and
system maintenance tool.

3. Something is not right with the CD/DVD burning software you use?
Try
IMGBURN or CDBurnerXP, both free and very good... Ben Myers

I have a problem with my two drives CD-RW and DVD/CD-RW. After I stop
the
backups and reject the CD or DVD from the drive and remove the disk then
when I close the drives back I get this message:

"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you have seen this stop error screen, restart
your
computer. If this screen appears again, follow

these steps:

Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is
identified
in
the stop message, disable the driver or

check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video
adapters.

Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS
option
such as caching or shadowing. If

you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your
computer, press F8 to select advanced

startup options, and then select safe mode.

Technical information:

Stop: 0x000000&E (0xC0000005, 0X806FF94F, 0xF7CB7C30, 0xF7CB792C)

Beginning dump of physical memory.

Physical memory dump complete.



Contract you system administrator or technical support group for further
assistance."



I then have to shut my computer off and restart.

I would appreciate any help on this problem.
