Hi,

I want to upgrade my ECDC 5.0 to ver. 5.02d so that I can use DirectCD with my Plextor 2410A.

The upgrade from Roxio keep teling me that no Roxio product is found. Strange.

Help?

Ah, the joys of EZCD cremator.

Cut your stress levels down by leaving it uninstalled! :hdspin:

I would be dead by now with a heart attack if I still used EZCD, the results are just not worth it IMHO.

There are special update files that must be installed before EZCD Creator 5 is compatible with Win XP.

See the files and follow the instructions on Easy CD Creator Updates (http://www.roxio.com/en/support/ecdc/ecdcupdates.jhtml)

Thanks for Your answers.

I tried reinstalling - problem not solved. In fact the uninstaller couldn't delete a key i the registration database. I had to remove it manually.

Besides from this problem I am very satisfied with my Win2K-Pro. And I need the DirectCD utillity.

Pretty much lost right now. Are there alternatives to DirectCD.

With my previous writer (HP) I didn't manage to run both Nero and DirecCD, so I skipped Nero and used ECDC with Direct CD instaed.

Could this upgrade by any chance have anything with the writer settings to do. Master/slave - IDE0/1 ?????

Your should get it working properly if you very carefully and exactly follow the instructions at :

How to cleanly uninstall / reinstall Easy CD Creator 5 in Windows XP (http://ask.roxio.com/cgi-bin/roxio_tic.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_sid=v6Ahyq5g&p_lva=&p_refno=011130-000007).

After doing this procedure it should work. ;)
