I have always used Easy CD Creator in the past and just loved DirectCD, but when I upgrade to WinXP of course DirectCD cause all kinds of problems and now I use Nero for burning and a trying a mix match of drag and drop programs.

So I ask the question above. I definially turn off the IMAPI burning software the WinXP gives you because it's a joke to use.

Thanks,
Debbie

The updated version should be ok - but I believe the original release version on the V5 CD is troublesome.

Unfortunately, DCD is not separately downloadable for Easy Cd Creator, only for WinOnCD - and I doubt the WinOnCD version would validate against ECDC - I shortcutted when installing a friend's one, since I'd grabbed an "accidental" realease of the WinOnCD version of DCD that didn't bother to validate at all (needless to say, it was pulled in a fairly short space of time!).


I've used Nero + DCD, and I have a feeling that once Nero has been used, DCD is dead until rebooted.

I believe they are now calling DirectCD, Drag-to-Disk.

I'm willing to give "Easy CD Creator 6" a try again if the "Drag-to-Disk" works with WinXP.

Thanks,
Debbie

Easy Cd Creator

I have Used Easy Cd Creator in all its forms from the early 2 speed record days and am using version 6 now never had any problems reading or writing and never lost data on cdr-w with it I don't load every upgrade unless there are definate benefits. Lucky? not realy just use good judgement and wait till other people have tested them first I suspect too many people reckon if there is an upgrade they must have it whether they need it or not

Easy Cd Creator

Just another observation a good number of people (Bless Em) who complain about losing software on direct cd and other re-writer software often have rewritable disks that look as though someone has been skating on them and covered in fingerprints (grease) I often find this when Reinstalling Windows for people. they have no idea about looking after disks and blame the software when they lose the data on them. A little care and thought does help and save dosh of course this of course goes for any cd

Good point.

I can just remember when I first started using WinXP and was still trying to use DirectCD like I did with Win2K and kept getting the 'Device is not working' error from DirectCD.

Some people could get it to work even then, but I will give it another try and if it gives me any problems I will wait another few years to see if they make it more compatable.
