cd rw not working

[realcorp]

Newly installed XP, cannot read or write disks to and fr the CD RW. Adaptec was removed via wizard, and I downloaded Nero trial software to see if compatible w XP after some online research. I'm new to this--please help. Thank you.

See "How to Troubleshoot Issues That Occur When You Write Data to a
CD-R or CD-RW Optical Disc in Windows XP"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=324129).

I assume the Adaptec reference is to Easy CD Creator which is now owned by
Roxio. What version of Easy CD Creator do you have installed? Any version
earlier than version 6 with the appropriate patch from Roxio does not
contain a compatible version of the Direct CD component required for what
you are apparently trying to do with re-writeable disks.

You need to remove the version you have and purchase and install the latest
version.
