Easy Cd And Nero

[JaVnI]

I am having problems with my cd rewriting. I was using nero happily while my dad used easy cd. They were both installed running fine. Then I upgraded my system from the absolutely crap windows ME to windows xp. I installed nero and continued using it fine. Then my dad said he needed easy cd again for the direct cd function. I reinstalled easy cd 4 from the cd that came with the comp originally. The computer then warned me about incompatibility problems. I tried installing some patch from roxio's website and then it seemed to work. Once I had done that I tried to use Nero and it didn't work. I tried the newest version and some older ones, it just would not work. Then I thought it must be easy cd. So I uninstalled that and tried using nero same problems. However I noticed that every time i restart a message appears saying: direct cd will cause windows to become unstable, devices or drivers have been disabled. I do not quite understand this message could someone please help on how to get nero workin again. I dont care much abt my dad wanting easy cd but it would help.
Thanks. I really miss burning VCDs :(

Well, there are other direct CD softwares out there. FileCD is one of them, will do the same exact thing.

I also went from ME to XP. I did, however, do a clean install. I hope you did too cause you will have problems if you did just an upgrade ontop of ME.

I tried to upgrade straight on top because i wanted to keep all my previous stuff. i later found out a few things did not work but i managed to get the system back to normal apart from this problem. Do you recomend to do another install? A clean one. But will i have to install all my hardware again (printer, scanner, speakers, modem, any cd drives)??? Will this fix the problem of my nero not workin and my driver being locked?
