I have noticed 2 occasions where an Adaptec CDR/W driver has had a conflict with Windows.
Once with ME and once with 98 (not SE). After removing or renaming the drivers the problem seems to dissapear. However, I can't find any information on the problem anywhere. Does anyone have ANY ideas as to what may fix this? ANY help would be appreciated. thanks.

Hi, You did not mention what kind of conflict you were having. Does it causes the Blue Screen of Death?

One suggestion is make sure you have the latest drivers for all of you hardware.

Use Device Manager to see if there is any conflict with the drivers. You may need to change the address of the Adaptec CDR/W driver.

Good luck and have a great day.

ME is not compatible if you have Adaptec V3.5 or less, and from experience it seems that this version is only compatible with 98SE. I am presuming that you have an HP CDR 9100. Adaptec 4.0 is a working driver but has not made Microsofts' HCL for ME yet. ME has quite a few minor bugs regarding CDR's. I suggest a fallback to 98SE until the first ME service pack is released. This should clear up quite a few problems.

Hi I have to ask this have you checked adaptec's site for updates?? they have added support for some of thier software and have ended some of the problems. It's worth a shot. rockyolson@charter.net
