I'm not taking it wrong. I have a CDR inserted. It doesn't get far enough to look at the CD drive, no window pops up. I just save the files as wav, wma and mp3 and then copy wav files to a CD using other programs on my computer so it's not stopping me from making CDs. I would just like to use it if I can. It is not open in the background. I actually checked for that. The utility "Share with Soundcloud" also doesn't work, but I don't care about that. I thought maybe there was a plug-in that I needed to open with the Cakewalk plug-in manager, but I don't see anything.
