F-8 Driver Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I had Easy CD Creator 5 updated to 5.3.5.10 on my Dell Dimension 8400 with XP, but Windows Explorer would not copy files to a CD. I see that Brendon says IE 7 and Win Media Player ver 11 will corrupt stuff. I also have an HP Pavilion with XP and the same Easy CD Creator setup and on this confuser and this HP has IE 7 and Win Med Player 10 on it. Windows Explorer will copy files to a CD on this HP. I removed Easy CD Creator from my Dell, including using Roxizap, but Win Explorer still will not copy files to a CD. I desire to reload Easy CD Creator to my Dell and get it to work as advertised. How do I do it? How do I remove IE 7 and Win Med Player 11 and install a lower version that will allow all to work? I have searched Microsoft support and no help there. Any help?

gi7omy Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Unless you have added SP3 (in which case you will also have to uninstall that), removing and rolling back WMP11 and IE7 is just a matter of going to control panel, add/remove programs and taking them out there. This will in itself roll back to the previous version. If SP3 is installed, that has to be uninstalled first (you can't remove IE or WMP if they were installed before it with it in place) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I removed Easy CD Creator from my Dell, including using Roxizap, but Win Explorer still will not copy files to a CD. If you're wanting to write files to a blank CD with Explorer? Have you enabled the native CD writer in XP?? (1) Open My Computer. (2) Right-click the CD recording drive, and then click Properties. (3) On the Recording tab, check the box 'Enable CD recording on this drive' Regards, Brendon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-8 Driver Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Thanks, gi7omy. I finally found this solution earlier. Shoulda done the search first. And, I did as Brendon suggested and checked that copying files in Win Explorer is enabled and it was not. I don't know how it got unchecked as it was working in the past. Now the problem is that IE will not connect to the internet, even though the connectivity check says it is connected. Any help here? Thanks again.

This corrected the Explorer problem. I will reload Easy CD Creator and see if it still ops. Now the problem is that IE will not connect to the internet. It did so before I removed Easy CD. Connectivity check on IE says it is connected, but it says it cannot display the web page. Any help on this? Thanks again. F-8 Driver If you're wanting to write files to a blank CD with Explorer?

I'm afraid I can't help with IE, since I don't use it. However in the meantime why not download Firefox 3 from here? It's small and easily removed if you prefer something else [unlike I.E.] and it will let you see if you have a connectivity problem which is affecting ALL your browsing, or just a problem with Internet Exploder.

F-8 Driver Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Thanks, Brendon. I don't use IE, either. I use Firefox, but I want everything on my confuser to ops as advertised. I removed IE 7 and went back to IE 6; it werks. I found my good version of CD Creator 5, loaded it and the updates and it ops correctly. All this because I had forgotten about the enabling of the CD to be written to by Explorer. The good thing about all this loading/unloading is that I relearn what I had learned before and forgotten. It keeps me honest. Honest. I have Firefox 2.0.0.16; is ver 3 better? F-8 Driver Glad that fixed the CD writing. I'm afraid I can't help with IE, since I don't use it.

Brendon Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 ECDC 5 is a good, tidy suite. It works well on my XP-SP2 and is small and simple. It also recognizes my latest drives without need for an edit. FF 3 won't run in my Win98, so I put 2.0.0.8 on there. I have 3 on XP and Vista. 3 seems a bit faster, but I haven't taken it out for sea trials yet I certainly haven't found anything bad about it.

gi7omy Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'm using FF3 here on XP SP3 and so far I've had no problems. One nice thing about it is the 'downthemall' download manager (which is a free plug-in) that will let you select URLs of files and then download them when you want (there is an 'add paused' mode) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
