I used Easy CD Creator under Win98 with a USB burner. No problems. Occasional coasters (about 3 out of 200) which I attribute to bad cds. Now have XP and Roxio. Use Disk at Once only and it works great. Except for a batch of CompUSA disks that were trash. Right now am using 12x rated Memorex CD's and writing at 24x on my Lite-on. Perfect.
