I have not really heard of anyone having problems with Easy CD Creator
in Win XP...i have been using it & haven't had any problems....have not
heard of any problems with Nero either...

Last week I upgraded my Micron 800 with 512 megs of RAM to XP.  The
good news it, XP does appear to be much more stable - no one BSD.  The
bad news is it took 4.5 days, over 40+ hours, many reinstalls of
software, new sound card (Aureal card didn't work with XP), etc., etc.
One disappointment is that even though Roxio is "behind the scenes" with
CD burning apps, my Easy CD Creator 5.0 would not work in XP, no matter
how many patches I applied, updates I got, etc.  Programs such as my
Outlook backup (OutBack) requires packet writing which apparently the XP
CD burning process does not use.  I've exerted enough energy with the
Roxio product (even their 90 day trial program I downloaded when mine
wouldn't work ALSO did not work - engine not initialized), so wondering
if folks have recommendations for other CD burning programs, e.g., Nero
(www.nero.com).  Input will be much appreciated.
Happy Holidays,
Ed Nottingham
