I think you have several programs getting at cross purposes. Get things
tidied up - uninstall all these third party burning programs as well as
their uninstalls will let you. That will leave some loose ends in
registry. To tidy up, get a registry patch file, cdgone.reg, from
www.aumha.org/downloads/cdgone.zip, extract it, r-click on it and merge
it into the registry. That removes those filters *and* some other
things that may have been left around.
Then install the Easy CD - just Easy CD Creator in the first instance,
and check it out. Then install the 'Drag to Disk' if you want it.
