Try updating to 4.05

I'm running that version now for my Sony 16X/10X/40X drive... No version below 4.05 will recognize it..

adaptec easy cd creator has become really bloated. its VERY unstable and is more likely to crash your system than work (which is pretty hard to do on win2k or winxp). avoid at all costs. just look at the number of patches they have released. nero is much better.

I will attest that NERO is a much better burning rom compared to Adaptec EZCoaster. However, not everyone is willing to spend ~30+ dollars on different software. The most logical solution is to try and "fix" your issue, not replace it.

You have to go to Roxio's website now, since Roxio and Adaptec have split up. Make sure you have registered software otherwise you can't download the updates.
