I am ready to scream!!!! I had the Roxio easy media creater 6. after installed my cdrw drive was gone. so i did all the fixes and then sometimes it was there and other times not. finally i had to uninstall the program every time i wanted to use cdrw and reinstall whrn i wanted to use media creater. a real pain in the butt.

So it said if you upgrade to the new 9 version you will not have these problems. so i bought the stupid 9.0 and it does the exact same thing. when easy media is installed, my cdrw is not there says "drive is empty" when i go to my computer, etc.

i have NEC NR 7900a REVISION 1.08 CDRW.

WHAT CAN I DO? I WISHE I NEVER GOT THE 9 VERSION NOW!!!!
