    I have never used this program, but first, I would make sure it isn't running in your startup apps, if so, disable it, then I'd delete the program folder. Next, back up your registry, then try deleting it from there as well. I hope this of some help. Good luck!

    What are the exact words of the error message bradz? Try typing them into google to see if anyone else is having the same problem. Post them here and I will have a go as well. Gives you something to do whilst you wait for other replies.
    Hopefully RACKnRAIL has solved it - but if not you know what to do next.

    EZ Cd Creator and Win XP

    There are known issues with EZ CD creator and Win XP, especially version 5.xx. EZ CD loads legacy drivers that conflict with WIN XP. I had this problem and Microsoft Tech Support sent this reply. It worked beautifully for me, I hope it does the same for you.


    Following is a summary of the key points for your records.


    ACTION----------------------------------------------------------------------
    ---
    Install Path: Clean Install of Windows XP Home Ed.

    - EZ CD Creator has been uninstalled.
    - Windows is activated.
    - SP1 is installed.

    RESULT----------------------------------------------------------------------
    --
    - After upgrading EZ CD Creator Basic to EZ CD Creator Platinum 5.01, the
    drives are no longer viewable under My Computer, and they show up as having
    driver issues in Device Manager.

    CAUSE-----------------------------------------------------------------------
    --
    - Filter drivers installed by EZ CD Creator

    RESOLUTION----------------------------------------------------------------
    - Backup the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ key
    to the desktop and verify that it is present.
    - Delete the Lower filters (and or Upper filters) from the
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11C
    E-BFC1-08002BE10318} key
    - Restart the system;
    - The drives are back and recognized.

    XP does not comes with ASPI drivers, I believe Roxio's web site has it.
