Brendon Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I dug out an old copy of Easy CD Creator 5. I have xp OS. I want to install Easy CD Creator 5. I get an incompatibility message. What do I need?. Here's the short version. -Ignore the incompatability message. -install your version 5 but don't restart Windows -install the 5.3.5.10 updater, and then restart Windows. This has the effect of not letting Windows see any early (incompatible) ECDC drivers running. By the time everything starts to run, it's version 5.3.5 already. 5.3.5.10 should run okay when installed like this. I've never had problems with it, but some folks have and I suspect this might be one of the reasons why support for version 5 was dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the butt-in but is this procedure good for Windows XP SP-2? I've read conflicting messages on this. Hopefully I can use my version ECDC 5.1 with XP SP-2. Please advise.

Hopefully I can use my version ECDC 5.1 with XP SP-2. Please advise. EW It has worked for many people, but there were so many major changes included with Service Pack 2 that officially Roxio ended support at that point, and many people have been unable to get it to work. You can try it. (When I got WinXP SP2, I got a newer burning program to go with it.) Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
