CD Writer is Not Fast Enough..?

Open My Computer, right-click the CD Drive icon, and then click Properties. Click the
Recording tab to display the settings. Under "Select a write Speed" Choose the "Fastest". If
still having a problem, then choose a speed like 18x or a medium speed. This will resolve
almost all the issues.

Enable/Disable CD Burning

If you choose to use a different CD burning program than the one supplied with Windows XP
this edit will disable the default burner. In most cases this isn't necessary even if you choose
an alternative burning program, but there are a few badly behaved burning programs out there
that insist on this modification.
Open the registry editor and navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
.Create a new Dword with the Name "NoCDBurning". To enable give a value 0. A value of 1
disables Burning.Exit Registry and Reboot
To Enable/Disable CD Burning for the Local Machine navigate to following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Ex
plorer. Create a new Dword with the Name "NoCDBurning". To enable give a value 0. A
value of 1 disables Burning. Exit Registry and Reboot.

What are the major differences between C and C++?

C was the C++ predecessor. As it's name implies, a lot of C remains in C++. Although not actually being more powerful than C, C++ allows the programmer to more easily manage and operate with Objects, using an OOP (Object Oriented Programming) concept.

C++ allows the programmer to create classes, which are somewhat similar to C structures. However, to a class can be assigned methods, functions associated to it, of various prototypes, which can access and operate within the class, somewhat like C functions often operate on a supplied handler pointer.

Although it is possible to implement anything which C++ could implement in C, C++ aids to standarize a way in which objects are created and managed, whereas the C programmer who implements the same system has a lot of liberty on how to actually implement the internals, and style among programmers will vary a lot on the design choices made.

In C, some will prefer the handler-type, where a main function initializes a handler, and that handler can be supplied to other functions of the library as an object to operate on/through. Others will even want to have that handler link all the related function pointers within it which then must be called using a convention closer to C++.

To finish this discussion, C++ applications are generally slower at runtime, and are much slower to compile than C programs. The low-level infrastructure for C++ binary execution is also larger. For these reasons C is always commonly used even if C++ has alot of popularity, and will probably continue to be used in projects where size and speed are primary concerns, and portable code still required (assembly would be unsuitable then).
