I'm not familiar with Power2Go 4.2 but it sounds like has packet writing
capabilities. Windows XP has no inbuilt DVD writing capabilities so you must
be using packetwriting to save from Quicken directly to a DVD-R\W. Reinstall
Power2Go. Create a shortcut to the DVD drive and place it in the SendTo
directory and in your My Documents directory. You should then be able to
save to that location providing you have a formatted DVD-R\W in the drive.
