I am unable to burn files to my CD/DVD's. When I click on the Cd Drive it gives an error telling me to insert media. I insert the media but then it ejects the media. What am I doing wrong?
Any help is appreciated.

CD Burning is a part of Windows, rather than Opus itself. Do you see the same thing if you try to do the same thing from Explorer?
I am running Opus 12.18 x64 and am experiencing similar issues. I loaded a blank CD into my CD burner drive and was able to access it and burn images for the first CD, but I tried a second CD and Opus said the disc could not be read. I opened File Explorer and it recognized the blank CD, so I was forced to burn the CD via File Explorer (Windows 10). It's as if Opus gets confused after burning one CD. Opus recognizes there is a CD in the drive but trying to access the drive will not work sometimes and I'm forced to use File Explorer (I prefer to use Opus). Once I burn the CD that Opus did not originally recognize in my burner drive, when I transfer the CD to my 'read only' drive Opus reads the CD just fine. I think there may be a bug that occurs after an initial CD burn.
Quite a few optical drives don't report when media is inserted or ejected correctly, which can confuse things. File Explorer does something extra to work around this, and if it notices the drive is not in the state it should be in, File Explorer broadcasts an event to all other software to update them to the correct state.
If that's happening, you might find that you can switch back to Opus after using the second disc in Explorer briefly, and things might work then.
Beyond that, the way CD media detection and burning works in Opus is largely down to the operating system. We just forward things on to the shell and don't do the burning ourselves.
Running Opus elevated would probably also break things, as many of the notifications about the burning process and the state of the drive would be blocked from reaching the process. (As in, launching dopus.exe elevated so the whole process is running as admin. Elevating individual windows from within Opus is fine.)
