I'm trying to copy a presentation to a CD and keep getting "the files cannot
be copied because the CD is not writable", but it is a Verbatim CD-RW blank
CD. What could be the problem

You will probably find that the "Save to folder" option followed by using
whatever you normally use use to burn the folder CONTENTS to a disc will
work OK.

Do not use Save, "Package for CD" or Windows to write to a CD. Instead, use
the CD burning program that came with your CD drive.

Thank you very kindly, now I have a really stupid question:
How do I get my presentation to automatically play when I put the CD I burn
into another computer?

Which version of PowerPoint do you use? Did you use Package for CD? It
should include an autoplay file.

But you can never be sure whether it plays automatically on someone else's
computer, they might have turned of Autoplay option (I do so).

Sorry, I've been away from computer. Finally getting back to my project.

I have 2007 Power Point

I just used save to folder option and used my Sonic Ver 7 to burn a CD

But I want to be able to insert this CD and have the presentation start?

Thank you for your time.

I used AutoRun Wizard and their websites are down now. Try and choose any here:

The PPT 2007 Viewer cannot run from CD because of the new file format. So
the person who wants to view the CD has to have the full version of PPT or
at least the viewer installed on their machines. If that is true, the
information in this article should be valid for PPT 2007, too:
