Good question. Maybe I'll request this for review...the last version was very very unstable with XP.

I have Version 5 and XP, and it works if I always create wav files on the hard disk and then shuffle them around to burn onto a mix CD, rather than mess about inserting CDs in order. I found that this always fails.

The problem that I've had, Dr. C, is that the program will not work AT ALL on over half the WinXP installations I've tried it on, and I can't figure out why. Roxio keeps saying to install the patch, but even with the patch v.5 just will not fire up properly. Part of this is undoubtedly because there's already Roxio components buried in XP, but that wouldn't explain why it would work on some computers and not others, especially when all of them had a clean install of XP.

Yeah i can't even get the thing installed properly & when i try the patch i get the dreaded "no valid roxio product found".It's frustrating because when it works it's the easiest burning software to use.One other interesting thing i noticed was that Roxio has removed alot of the font & editing options on the cd cover creator on the 5.5 version.That i get to work!I read alot of reviews on Amazon saying that 5 was crap with xp.That's why i am hoping they fixed the problems with the new version.Or is it just a cosmetic change tricking me into wasting another $70 on a product that is junk right out of the box?

Evan, are you trying to install it on a non-C:/ drive? For the longest time I was baffled about the patch upgrader telling me it couldn't find the product, but that was because I wasn't using C:\ drive as my operating system drive (I was dual-booting and consequently D:\ was my XP partition).

Try Nero instead. I know Easy CD is arsey about which version of direct-x you've got installed depending on what version of it you have.

Before you do anything, go to the drop down menus in the CD project. Go to Internet-->Web Checkup. I only did this a few weeks ago, and it installed what amounted to a brand new, squeaky clean program. Works like a dream. And I'm on XP.

I hate Easy CD - it won't burn half the mp3s I have, and I can't figure out why.

As for XP - so many people I've talked to are having nightmares with it, and with lots of different software. Microsoft should be ashamed.

Microsoft should be ashamed.

That's going to happen at roughly the same time that Europe in once again buried under a sheet of ice.

Which, come to think of it, might not be that far away.

This assumes you can make the program run, unfortunately.
