CD burning drivers for WinXP

Hello everyone,

I've installed Easy CD Creator 3.5c on a WinXP SP3 machine. I wanted to
test if its labels and CDs printing features would work (and if the
program would run). I was warned that this version was incompatible with
this version of Windows but I had the option to continue the
installation, so I did.

It is a test I am doing on a machine that I don't use to burn CDs, so I
knew what I was doing and wanted to see what would happen.

I set the shortcut in Win95 compatibility mode after the installation.
The program runs and the features I need also work but the result of this
installation was that the WinXP CD burning drivers were replaced by older
incompatible versions and Windows deactivated CD burning capability on
this machine on reboot.

This machine is a Celeron 500 that I plan to send to recycle soon.

I really like the ease of use of this version of EZ CD Creator to create
labels and print on CDs, I have a lot of templates and files that were
created under WinME that I want to be able to use. I don't mind not being
able to burn CDs with this program.

My question is, if I install this program on my P4 (XP Home SP3), is
there a way that I can restore the CD burning drivers with current ones
when EZ CD Creator will destroy CD burning capability, maybe by
reinstalling Nero Express or Windows Media Player after installing EZ CD
3.

I could try it but I prefer to ask before because I don't want to destroy
the burning capability of my P4 and not being able to restore it.

Anyone knows which files constitute the CD burning driver for WinXP so I
could copy them in a temp folder and put them back after the
installation, (and registry entries)?

TIA
Dominique
