Do you have any other burning programs available? Can you view all the pictures in the folder? If so select all and drag to cd/dvd burner. I'm not a fan of the built-in burning program.

yeah, i can see all the pics. but when i hit copy, the folder pops up and tells me it wont do it.

i have photoshop elements, will this work?

I'm not sure whats going on but when you right click, go to properties and uncheck the read only box. Next right click on folder and go to.. send to your burning drive, should pop up saying you have files ready to be written to cd.
This is a start. Not sure about photoshop elements if burning within that is capable.
Anybody else chime in?
