Looking for software

I just installed a CD writer, which came with the Adaptec CD creator and Direct CD programs. I have found that the Direct CD does not support my CD writer, even though the software was included with it. Go figure. Anyway, the main reason I wanted the CD writer was to save image files- JPGs mostly. I want to be able to save them to CD as easily as I can save them to my cheap, crappy, nearly obsolete floppy drive. (Use heavy sarcasm at this point.) Unfortunately, this far more expensive CD writer and its software seem to find this task beyond their capabilities. Does anyone know of a program (freeware, preferably) which can do that seemingly simple thing? My desk is crammed with floppies. Help!

Thanks, China

I like paper.
Paper does not need to be plugged in, turned on, progammed, booted, clicked on, or connected to the internet before you can read what is written on it.
Paper rules!
But, since it is better to light one candle than to curse the dorkiness, I'm going to go read a book.
