Hi
I have used easy cd creator 5 platininum for some time on xp. I like the merging of tracks option specifically for rap etc. Recently my pc developed a virus and i needed a new hard drive.Since then I have not been able to use ecdc5p as the message says there are no supported drivers recognised. I know that there has been a problem with xp and a patch overides this.The only patch i have found is for basic not platinum. can anybody help

Hello GB,

I think what has happened is that you've reinstalled your ECDC from the original CD, but you haven't updated it so it doesn't recognize your drive like it used to.

To save me typing it all again, please read this topic and my post there tells you how to get the updates and apply them.

Regards,
Brendon

Hi Brendon
You recently replied to me ay glynandvickybidwell@hotmail.com I was having problems with no supported drivers in ECDC platinum.

I have downloaded both driver you mentioned and installed them.

I still get the no supported drivers message?

Any ideas.

thanks

Glyn

Hello Glyn,
I've shifted your second post off another person's topic and put it onto your own topic where it should be. There's too much confusion otherwise.

[1] What version number shows when you run Creator and go to the top bar, Help > About this software?

[2] What is the full Drive ID of your burner drive? If you go to Windows Device Manager and look at the DVD/CD-ROM entries there, you'll see the full IDs of your drive(s). Here are mine.



Regards,
Brendon

Glyn - I'd strongly advise you edit your post - this site (along with others) is trawled by spiderbots that harvest e-mail addresses.

I hope it's not too late and you don't get uinundated with spam

Hi Brendon

Easy CD Creator 5.3.5.10v

TSST Corp CD/DVDW SH-S182M
TSST Corp DVD ROM SH-D163B

thanks

Hi Glyn,

Right, you have a burner and a ROM. The reason the burner isn't recognized by ECDC is that the latest TSSTCorp drive ECDC 5 knew was the TS-L632A. The Toshiba-Samsung Storage Technology Corporation have put out a few new drives since then.

ECDC 5 had some rudimentary auto-sensing ability, but mainly it relied on matching a drive with one in a table provided by the Updaters. If the drive matches the table then it's "recognized" and you can use it.

We should be able to fool ECDC into recognizing your drive if you are up to a small registry edit - we'll steal the table entry for the TS-L632A drive

Here's how:
-Go to your Start button > Run, and run REGEDIT.exe
-navigate in the registry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adaptec\Adaptec Shared\CDEngine\Devices1
-there you should see a whole bunch [246 of them] of "devicexxx" entries. device 186 is the one you want. It should show this entry for the TS-L632A drive:
TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632A,TSSTcorp,CD/DVDW TS-L632A,DVD+-R/RW,cdrmmc.drv,178,,9
Editing:
-Now, if you double-click on 'device186' an edit box should open, with that entry highlighted in blue
-press right-arrow to remove the highlight, and carefully edit the entry to replace both occurrences of TS-L632A with SH-S182M, your drive's ID.
IF YOU MAKE AN ERROR, just press Esc and go back to the start of Editing. Nothing will be changed until you click OK so it's pretty safe.
-when you're happy with the editing, click the OK button and the change will be made. Exit REGEDIT.

Restart your Windows, and ECDC 5 should recognize your burner. Please be aware that ECDC doesn't handle DVD video discs, just single-layer data discs.

Hi Brendon
Done that it recognizes the drive. however to try and burn I get the following:-


Record CD set up showing the drive but will not allow me to do anything. have I done something wrong?

Hi Glyn,

If it recognized the drive then that part has worked. Perhaps the TS-L632A is too different from the SH-S182M for those settings to work. You might be SOL there.

Record CD set up showing the drive but will not allow me to do anything.

Can you explain a bit better what's happening there?

having gone into ECDC I select a track to record put it into the project area and press record.
I get the record cd box asking me to select the drive?

The only thing in drive is the S182M

If I press options i am shown the Record methods etc all of the type is in shaded grey with the exception of allow another recording?

If I click this all the shaded comes up in bold withthe exception of start recording.

As i have said earlier no matter what i do it will not allow me to do anything.

I could print screen and send to you. I do not know how to do this on this reply/

Hi Glyn,

We normally deal with all this stuff out on the board so everyone gets the benefit of any problems solved, but this time I think we should take it to email so we can swap screen clips etc., and I'll report back here so nobody who is interested misses out.

I'll send you a private message with my email address. Please click the "New Messages" text up near the top left of the page to receive the message.


Regards,
Brendon

Okay, I'm reporting back.

It seems that Glyn had updated to Windows Media Player 11 and Internet Exploder 8, so while the registry edit worked ECDC 5 didn't.

Once we worked out what the problem was he reverted back to WMP 9 and I.E.7, reinstalled Easy CD Creator 5 and re-did the registry edit. Now it all seems to be working.
