Hi Trevor. Have read your message and am as disappointed as you re these
programs. As for ulead I have never heard of it so don't know a thing about
it. I do know that the roxio worked fine until my computer crashed but has
this eject problem since I used my restore disc. and am not about going
through all the problems of resetting up all my programs again and getting my
accounts back on line in hopes of it working properly again. It is a hassell
but will live with it. I am not going to spend $80-90 for an upgrade that I
don't need or want when what I have and what I use it for is good enough. I
also had a problem where I could not do a defragmentation on my hard disc. I
posed the problem under windows XP general forum 2/21/08 under the title
Defragmentation. The answers that I received solved the problem for me and my
defragmentation works fine now, however it did not solve the roxio problem. I
was told to use the checkdsk which would go into the computer and fix any
problems. Yours may be a problem where chkdsk can help and maybe clear the
ulead problem. Just guessing though,but it may be worth a try. You can
refernce the comments under the "defragmentation" post for further info. One
does not have much hope when it comes to big business. It is the almighty
buck that counts and help in most situations with these big companies is
usually next to nil and if so you wind up talking to someone in Packistan or
India. Again "farm out" for the almighty buck. I could go on for hours about
this but I am sure that you are in the same boat as most others are. I doubt
that I will be able to help in the future with ulead so wish you more success
than you are currently experiencing.

Regards

Trevor, this is a copy of my original question for your perusal. I
believe
that this is what you were missing as mentioned in your response.

Andrew E in response to this question suggested that I delete Roxio and
use
the cd/dvd writing available on XP instead. Apparanty windows XP has this
feature where earlier versions didn't.

Getting more confused each day. Hope this helps and do look foreward to a
response from you. I am basically a novice with computers so I doubt that
I
can help you with your problems. I had also considered Nero but did not
buy
it because I was unsure if my Roxio drag to disc cd/dvd's would work with
Nero which is expensive to purchase anyway. So am still up in the air.

Thanks for your assistance. This brings you up to date so far.


Question
Subject: roxio easy cd/dvd creator 6 basic

Thanks Reg,
I read all the post and I am afraid I can't help on the eject and close down
problem

But, as I posted earlier, XP does NOT have DVD writing capabilities

I get very annoyed (and that is being polite) when things that DID work no
longer do. I had a problem with Ulead DVD authoring software. It used to
write OK, but now it refuses. I have asked and asked wherever I can, but I
can't even find a help site for Ulead - now part of Corel. Questions here
have evoked some responses, but many are along the lines of: "It should
work". I know that it should and wish it would.

I have now reached the stage where I have to give up on Ulead. Many moons
ago - maybe years - my wife said "Buy another program" but why should I when
Ulead used to work !! Anyway, I am now trying Nero and have had some
success. (I can't get the menu correct, but the movie DOES PLAY)

So, this may not help you at all, but I commiserate. I don't like the
expense of new programs either. They may also fail on you just as Roxio did
for you and Ulead did for me - what hope does one have ??

You may even see posts from me asking for advice
