Many thanks again

Funny thing is, I uninstalled Roxio, put a CD in, drag and drop a file.
Copied okay, without Roxio present, but the CD-rom won't eject the disc
again.

As Bob said, it must have left a stub since there's no native ability to
do a udf packet-write in Win2K. When you say "copied OK" do you mean it
*appeared* to copy OK or have you actually tried accessing something
that you copied (after unlocking the disk by whatever means you are
using)?

Roxio has a reputation of leaving stuff behind after an uninstall -
other application installs sometimes complain about it. It's possible in
this case though that the Roxio packet-writer (udf) is installed as a
separate element that wasn't removed when you uninstalled the main
program but is now missing something it needs.

If you need to use this feature, I would take a look at control-panel >
add/remove programs and see if it shows up. Personally, if it does, I
would remove it. The insert the Roxio disc and see if you can do a
custom install with just the udf part. Or you could simply re-install
over what you have, though I prefer to remove the old installation first.
