See the second "problem" (read the caveats)
Run the provided registry patch

That should fix your problem (basically, a filter driver
is missing or
non-operational, the registry patch will delete the filter
drivers
references for your cdrom(s))


Basically, the reg file from above carries out the steps
displayed at this
website in addition to removing some drivers that may have
been used by
older versions of Easy CD Creator that are known to cause
problems with
WinXP.
