How to change the Windows XP CD burner so that it stops closing a disc session automatically

I had to reinstall Windows XP Home Edition OS on my Dell Dimension 4550 and now the CD burner automatically closes making it a single use session. I need to change the burner so that I may add data to a single CD until its full. If anyone knows how to change this please let me know. I used Dells Resource CD to reinstall everything. Im assuming its part of the Windows XP program. Thank you
