I am using easy cd and when I try to burn a cd, the system either stands still or seems to write without error before it closes the session the software stops right before writing the TOC. Is there aknown problems with windows 2000 and Easy Cd Creator?

Ensure You have loaded the Win2K updates from the Adaptec website - it can be a bit fiddly trying to get Easy CD working unless you are running at least ver 4.03. Apart from that, Easy CD works fine on my old P200 with W2k SP1.

I read somewhere, I don?t remember where that EasyCD (version?) work only with local admin rights.

As answer #1 stated, make sure that all updates are installed in the correct order, with re-boots as suggested.

Roxio also recommends trying disableing UDMA mode for your CD drive(s) when using their software.

Another tip, is to have the CD-RWdrive on a different IDE channel than either source drive (HDD, CD).

I had a problem after upgrading from 3.5 OEM to 4 Platinum that was corrected by a "firmware" update from my drive mfg.

Finally, on my W98 system, I have to shut down all System Tray and background programs to get a good burn.

I do not have the problem on my XP system, but I am using version 5 which has buffer under-run protection.

I also have the exact same problem with Easy CD Creator, except my OS is XP. I have to Ctrl + Alt + Del, and End Task. I then restart the CD Creator, and choose the option to complete the TOC (can't remember exact sequence right now), and then everything is fine.

I know I didn't answer your question, but I'll be monitoring it because I am having the same problem. Good luck.

Ran into almost the same problem with a Win 98 machine, after removing the software (EZ) and reloading it (with only the Explorer and Systray running) Worked great, could be a bad load. Try reloading with only minumal required processes running, definitely NO ANTI-VIRUS programs.
