CDdriver for CD-writer won't work with XP Home Addition

[Norma]

I Have a HP CD-writer 9500 series & I used the backup
sofeware program to backup my family tree. I installed
the XP Home Addition and now it says the driver is not
compatible. Is there a backup program with the XP Home
Addition software,if so where is it located???? I also
uninstalled the cd-writer software after that since it
said the driver that was incompatible would cause
problems. No where do I go from here???

Some of the compatibility problems that XP program reports, is because either the hardware/software came out before XP was around. And MS did not get the opportunity to check before the release of XP, that it was compatible with it. Had the same Compatibility warnings when I installed my Lexmark X73 printer, but with XP updated drivers, everything is working find. Have you gone to HP and updated the drivers for the writer there? Get the one(s) for XP. If the item's website, offers an update for XP, that you are pretty sure that it is compatible with XP, with few exceptions.

Also use the software that came with the writer, instead of the microsoft software for the writer.
