I had the same problems with ECDC5 and XP. Never could get it to work with my configuration. Nero works great, I especially like the Nero Runner for the Nero Express in the last two versions. XP's drag and drop is really great, and I use Clone CD exclucively for copying. The Easy CD Creator plug in for the Real One Player works fine in XP, and is really convenient for burning my MP3 download albums from Emusic, but it is really slow compared to Nero. All and all there is not one perfect burning program, but lots of them work flawlessly in XP and will cover whatever you want to do. UFOResearcher, I started with Nero 5, and it works fine in XP. It will update to the current newest version 5590 with Nero express. Don't use Nero's drag and drop InCD with XP. Don't even install it. The built in drag and drop in XP is far superrior, and InCD can cause the same type of problems that Direct CD does in XP in some cases. Once you get used to the one built into XP, you'll never want to go back.
