I've had alot of problem running the Creator with XP. Microsoft uses Roxio Licensed software for there "internal" cd burning function so i dont know how good it works in conjuction, least to say i had definite issues. Wait like a couple of months for XP to be more "popular" so that the vendors can have a fair shot at software testing.

yup, your right, ezcd creator has to be upgraded to version 5, version 4 won't work with xp.
 
Most CDRW drives use a standard generic driver, which gives you basic cdrom drive functionality. The cd writing software communicates directly with the cdrw drive and doesn't use the normal windows driver (I think it's probably the same for DVD drives: the DVD viewer has it's own low level driver that communicates with the drive). If you can get the drives to work properly in device manager, then you're half-way there; all you need to do is install xp-compatible cd-writing (ezcd creator 5 or nero 5.5) and dvd-viewing software (dunno) and the drives should work properly.
 
Good luck. milo

Right, check this.

I upgraded to XP and was using EZCD 4 as well. Upon upgrading EZCD4 wouldn't work same as you. However I uninstalled it ( dunno how ) and its fucked my DVD drive. Theres 2 adaptec drivers there, and everytime i boot up it sez devices or applications diabled blah blah and its these two adpatec drivers causing the ruckus.
If I delete the drivers my CD and DVD drives wont work at all ( I get the yellow circle with ! mark in it over the dvd and cd drives in device manager )
At present the DVD drive reads CD rom and audio but not DVD. ARGHHHHHH FUCKING ARGHHH!! All I wanna do is watch my fucking movies adaptec you cunts. Oh and the only posible solution it seems is to BUY EZCD 5 from Adaptec for $50. If anyone can shed some light It would be appreciated most muchly.
Easy now,
Will.
