orchardkeeper Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 For those who have had the problem with trying to burn a CD in Windows Media Player 11 and the burning software will not recognize the new disc you insert, go into your Windows Startup panel and disable "Roxio Drag-to-Disc" by unchecking the check box next to "Roxio Drag-to-Disc". Exit and reboot your computer and "Drag-to-Disc" will be disabled and you should be able to burn discs in Media Player 11. For an easy way to edit your "Startup Menu" go to http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml and download his free "Startup Control Panel" and install it on your desktop. With 1 click, you can see ALL of the programs that start running when you boot your system. It's the simplest way to edit your "Startup Menu". Hope this helps out!!

gi7omy Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Actually - WMP11 wrecks all Roxio s/w up to v8 and is causing problems in v9 It is extremely tight on DRM and the BEST thing you can do is to remove it and roll back to 9 or 10. Also be advised that IE7 will also kill off ECD6 - 8 Additionally - to disable any item from startup simply requires you to go to start, run and type 'msconfig' and then uncheck D2D in the startup section - no need to download anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had no issues with ECD 7 or 8 except for the disc recognition issue. IE7 does cause all sorts of issues, especially from the source code (HTML, XHTML, etc.) side. IE6 on down was very forgiving of bad code, but IE7 more closely resembles Firefox (Mozilla) and does not forgive bad code. There are so many web sites out there with bad code or syntax, I ended up uninstalling IE7 and went back to 6 because I was only getting about 75% of the sites I visited to render in IE7!

gi7omy Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 The only 'resemblance' between IE7 and Firefox is the tabbed browsing - there it ends A friend of mine is a professional web designer and all his stuff is made to W3C standards - and IE7 has problems with it. This isn't down to bad code - it's down to poor recognition of the W3C standards. Just as an aside, he did tell me all the guys he knows were considering charging extra to make perfectly good websites (readable in Opera, Firefox, etc) readable in IE7 However, it does make some change to the OS kernel and has caused problems in some apps (not just the Roxio ones). WMP11 seems to do the same, but also, in that case, it has far tighter DRM than previous versions and is causing problems regarding 'licenses' for downloaded files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
