Hi Neal - First - sorry to be so long getting back to this - stuff going on.

Re-boot your computer and then look in Event Viewer and report back any
error or informational messages listed there after the "starting Event
Viewer" message in detail.

Take a look at Add-Remove Programs and see if you show a separate entry for
the Roxio (used to be Adaptec) DirectCD - not quite sure how it will be
listed, so look for various alternative listings for it. If so uninstall it
and re-boot, run the cdgone.reg file again, and then re-boot again. (While
you're there, be sure there's no longer any listing for InCD. You should
still have a Nero listing of some sort, however - just no InCD.)

If you don't find a separate listing for DirectCD, you may need to try
uninstalling Nero and/or Easy CD Creator 5 or 6 or whatever successively.
Be sure you have the necessary installation media available for each of
these for re-installation before proceding with any uninstall.
