Probably used with your cd writer? INCD seems to clash with Media player and other programmes and will cause random reboots. I swapped to DirectCD last week for trailing and the problem appears to have disappeared although it is too early to be conclusive. This problem is apparent in W2K and W98. I hope you can try this and post the result. Super-T (2892)
