Take my word for it, the builtin CD Writer support is almost totally useless. Take my word for it. I've done extensive research in the Windows XP newsgroups, and I'm trying to save you the trouble. I, and others, recommend the best way to upgrade to Windows XP is to get all the drivers, save them on CD. Then save all your data to CD. Then wipe the hard drive, and install Windows XP from scratch. Do NOT install any older versions of Easy CD Creator. If you decided to upgrade over a previous version of Windows, you inherit all the problems of that previous installation, and possibly more. Do all of us a favor, click on that link I provided. Read the other Windows XP threads. Read the Windows XP newsgroups. Do your homework. Ron
