| 97718 | 2002-11-11 02:53:00 | I have a HP computer (ok you can stop laughing now :( ) and I recently upgraded from XP home to XP pro to get rid of the crap installed with XP home. My problem is I can no longer burn CDs thru Easy CD Creator or WMP. The same thing happened when I deleted MusicMatch Jukebox from XP Home. Has anyone else had this problem??? Please help me!!!! I need to burn CDs!!!! :) |

| 97719 | 2002-11-11 02:58:00 | Right Click on My Computer and goto Hardware Select Device Manager and make sure everything's ok in there (There'll be a warning sign if not). Next, try updating Easy CD-Creator. Or, try using XP's built in CD-Writing capabilities! |

| 97720 | 2002-11-11 03:02:00 | Thanks for that... I have tried the first two suggestions without any success ... I guess my only other option is to use XP. | aries1973 (2505) | ||
| 97721 | 2002-11-11 03:45:00 | Ok... ummm... have you considered the impact of ASPI layers? Read this site (www.nu2.nu) to understand all there is about it... follow the instructions and post back to let us know whether or not it has helped. Lo. |

| 97723 | 2002-11-11 04:48:00 | I assume you installed a full retail copy of XP Pro, to avoid all the add-ins in the recovery disk version supplied with the PC. Amazing..... It is so easy to use add-remove to eliminate the unwanted applications pre-loaded, then use your CDRW drive to make a restore of the stripped down system....I have done it for systems. You will have removed all drivers (which are loaded automatically with your restore disk) and will need to source these after loading the full retail version of XP |

| 97725 | 2002-11-11 14:22:00 | Xp Pro should have most of the drivers needed to run your pc., however I have recently found out [much to my disgust] that HP cd writers will only work with HP software.I kidd you not! You can download the software from their website,if you can be bothered ,personally I would just get rid of the whole pc. |

| 97726 | 2002-11-11 15:34:00 | >personally I would just get rid of the whole pc. Yes but it must be working first, :) and then, it may as well be kept. While i'd never recomend anyone buy a HP comp, if that is what aries1973 has, then that is what must be worked with. I'm running 2 450meg antique machines, and untill i sell my land or my soul (whichever comes first) its what i got, and the challenge is to get what i need out of them... I manage to annoy this place don't I, even if the comp is cruddy? .Clueless |

| 97727 | 2002-11-11 19:33:00 | try nero it works better than cd creator or try doing a custom install of cd creator without the direct cd bit | kiwibeat (304) | ||
