Yesterday I reinstalled my WIndows X
At first boot up everything was fine, but after installing Roxio Burning Sofware (Direct CD) it has disabled the driver
I have un-installed the driver and hardware + rebooted to no avai
I don't want to reformat again, simply because my CD won't work
Any suggestions gratefully received
 
Thanks for responding
It is an older version but armed with the patch I decided to load it up and then patch it
I downloaded the patch onto a CD-R, but now my CDRW player isn't recognised, I can't load i
Being in a chicken and egg situation, I uninstalled the Direct CD software altogether in the hope that that would enable XP to recognise my CDRW
I now get a message saying It has recognised my CDRW as a Toshiba SD-R1202, which is correct, and installed the driver for that drive. It further says - if it is not working then it is the hardware that's not workin
I find that difficult to believ

Rich,

Thanks, you know, even if this doesn't work, it was good of you to say that this happened to you too. I will give it a whirl.

Which version of Roxio Easy CD? You need at least v5.1!
