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)?

1. You could write with what you have but 3.5c will only burn 650 MB
max. You'd have to install ASPI, see
http://aspi.radified.com/
That might fix XP burning too, don't know, don't use it.



I did a few test, updated Windows Media Player, and the only "problem" is
a message when Windows boot that it did not load some drivers that could
render Windows unstable and "CD burning software" would not work, I
realise now that only EZ CD Creator 3.5 doesn't burn CDs.



2. You could install any of myriad burning programs that are more
versatile than Windows; CDBurnerXP for one.


I installed the latest version of CDBurnerXP and it works.



3. You could get an honest-to-gosh labeling program.

Any suggestions for a free labelling program?

Your suggestion about ASPI took me in the right direction.

Now I know that EZCD 3.5 will print labels and CDs under WinXP and since
I'm used to it and I have a lot of files and templates made with it I
will stick with it and proceed with the installation on my P4. I can live
with the error message when I boot.

Thanks for your suggestions.
