SYMPTOMS
When you click Save As on the File menu in Microsoft Picture It!, the list of drives and folders available in Step 1 of the Save As Task Pane does not include any CD-ROM drives, not even writable CD-ROM drives.



CAUSE
Because most CD-ROM drives are not writable, and most users run Picture It! with the compact disc in the drive, CD-ROM drives are omitted from the list of target drives.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, save the file to your hard drive and then copy the file to the writable CD-ROM.



MORE INFORMATION
Other programs such as Microsoft Word do allow you to save to a writable CD-ROM drive. If you try to save to a non-writable CD-ROM drive from one of these programs you will get an error such as:

Cannot save. The folder is marked 'Read Only'.
