Uh oh....Krell is not going to be happy that you installed Easy CD Creator. This isn't my expertise on this particular subject, but wait for Krell as he should be knocking at your door at any moment....

yeah installing easy cd on wondows XP is a bad mistake, i know because i did it myself and had the same problem as you

the following article from the MS knowledge base cured my easy cd blues.http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314060

it involves a simple adjustment in the registry, but as always, make sure you back up first!
