I've been having a problem with EZ CD creator 5 on a dell running Windows XP. XP tries to decide what I want to do for me. When I pop in a CD it recognises a blank and supposedly opens CD creator for me. If the machine has been running more than 2 or 3 days CD creator never opens. I rebot the machine and the opening splash window for creator comes up just before everything shuts down. I pop in a CD after bootup and creator opens and burns just fine. The longer I run and the more applications I open the less likely it is that creator will open and work. I suspect the CD player function on the drive is fighting with Windows Media player or some such thing. I don't know why, but if I reboot and burn the file first thing I'm sucessful.
