<< Roxio's DirectCD will not even work with W2K SP2 and they have no fix for it. This product has been bug ridden ever since they introduced it. I used to use DirectCD with W98 constantly but with W2K it's a disaster. What's even worse is that Roxio doesn't appear to know what they are doing. Even EZCD is suspect in many cases. >>
I have W2k SP2 with Direct CD 5 installed, and I have no problem with it.  Maybe it is because I never installed the EZ CD Creator Platinum stuff yet?  Direct CD by itself works fine on my machine.
