bendster,

Please let us know what version of Easy CD Creator you have installed and the make/model of your CD writer.
Here's a direct link to the ECDC/WinXP FAQ on Roxio's web site:

I think you have a major conflict with XP and your burning software. If you can get into Safe mode and access System Restore you can use this to go back in time before you installed EZCD. If your only option is Recovery Console (now I'm only guessing here) Try this, get into your Bios and set it for step by step booting. Notice what the last item before crash is. If it relates to EZCD you have a choice to use Recovery Console to Delete it (I don't know if you can uninstall from Recovery Console) Like I said I'm only guessing here. Wait for more expert help. You might have to reformat to solve this. I hope you can find some easier solution so you can use the driver rollback or System Restore. When it is eventually all fixed (as it will be soon), you will need the very latest updates that are compatible with XP if you are going to use EZCD.

just an FYI....i found the fix for EZCD creator and XP for people who are having the problem I was listed above......you have to go to the recovery console and rename Prtseqrd.sys to Prtseqrd.rox. It should be in c:\winnt\system32\drivers...suprisingly enough found it on Roxios website after a long long search...hope it helps

I was just about to reply letting you know that EZ CD Creator 4 will definitely not work with XP, when I read bendster's post. Is that version 4 by any chance you are talking about bendster? That would be a really big help to me, for one. Version 5 requires the outlay of at least $80, even for owners of version 4. Thanks.

rename Prtseqrd.sys to Prtseqrd.rox. in c:\winnt\system32\drivers... or install EZCD4 and forget about the NON compatiblely... simply do not install DIRECT CD... it already there..or Install EZCD 5.xx minus Direct CD and Take TWO. Frank Smith
