DirectCD, No supported drive! (Roxio 5.02)

[Darg_mals]

I am running windows ME, I was using Nero, wanted to try Roxio Easy CD Creator. It has completely installed but Icon appears with a circle with a red slash through it saying DirectCD, No supported drive! I was told an up date should fix the problem, but so far no such luck.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

so did you or did you not try the update??

i know that roxio constantly puts out updates for more cd-burner support. if you try the update (if you have'nt already) and it doesn't work then your burner just may not be currently supported.

someone else may have a better idea if that doesn't work.

Hiya

I assume you uninstalled Nero fully.

This is how Roxio suggest installing CreatCD:

Update to 5.3.2 and then install the updater: http://www.roxio.com/en/support/roxio_support/ecdc/ecdc_software_updatesv5.jhtml The EZCD update also updates DirectCD with version 5.

Also uninstall InCD – it doesn’t share well with DirectCD.

Opps hummmm I guess I missed an update. Yes I did uninstall Nero. I haven't tried burning a CD yet but the icon has disappear so I assume the problem is fixed


I have heard that Nero is far superior to Roxio is this true and if so is it possible to create a photo slide with music in Nero?


Thanx all

InCD is not in my add and remove programs and couldn't find it when I searched so, I'm thinking I don't have that.

Nero and EZCD get along fine on the same computer. Its just the packet writing that doesn’t coexist.

Many experienced people seem to like Nero better than EZCD. I haven’t messed with that particular thing so I don’t know whether it can specifically make a slideshow with music. Most people just make such a slideshow with a program like the freeware Irfanview and then record it. www.irfanview.com
