No option to Erase CD-RW in CD Writing Tasks

O/S: Windows XP Professional
Drive: Sony CD-RW CRX140E
This drive burned, erased, copied, and played back just fine under Windows 2000 Professional using Roxio Easy CD Creator. The drive works fine under Linux using KDE's K3b. But for some reason, it doesn't want to work right under Windows XP.
Per an MS KB article, I've changed the drive type from 1 (CD-R) to 2 (CD-RW) in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CD Burning\Drives\Volume{cd089ac2-0c06-11d8-812c-806d6172696f}
I've checked Sony for firmware updates and there are none. I've checked MS Windows Drivers Update site and it says I have the current driver.
Any ideas how to get XP to erase CD-RWs?
XP also has a problem correctly burning downloaded .iso images to CD. Last time I tried burn an .iso image all it did was copy the .iso image to the CD, as is, instead of laying it out on the disk so it was bootable, etc.
Thanks in advance!
John
