i have upgraded my pc to windows xp and had easy cd creator 4 on windows 98. now that i have upgraded to xp the cd roms do not work. the reason for this is there is something in my registry that i need to delete.

I'm not sure if you're saying that the CD's you made in Win 98 don't work in XP or if Easy CD Creator 4 won't work in XP. Frankly, I'm surprised it worked in Win 98. In any case I recommend you visit Roxio's home page and download any upgrades or patches they offer for your version of Easy to work with XP. Be careful to follow their directions. I had to download an upgrade for Easy 5 and a patch. The upgrade had to be installed first and then the patch BEFORE rebooting. Now it all works pretty well. Secondly, click on the Start button, All Programs and click on Windows Update. At the update page download the patch for CD Burners in the Recommended Updates list.

Good Luck!

The shipping version of XP has several bugs.
One of these causes problems with CD burning software, and CD-RW reading and writeing.

You need to download and install the update patches from both MS and Roxio.

Roxio has detailed instructions ontheir patches.

there is an xp compatibility update which provides compatibility with ez cd 4 after running windows update and installing that update you will want to try reinstalling ez cd 4. roxio will not be of much use since all they want to do is sell you ez cd 5 platinum
