Its OK on small files, even in large numbers, so it appears to be a full buffer memory overwriting the stack. Bad xp, I would think. The sp2 update arrived last week and when I installed it my system completely locked up. I could not start the pc into xp. It took an hour on the phone to Microsoft (in India) to fix it.... Don't upgrade until 25 August was the advice.

I liked Roxio easy CD and never bothered with Nero until Roxio went funny on me, then when subsequent efforts to fix it failed i found as many have that it's all but unremovable I also use my LG dvd burners software 'B's Gold' which like roxio and ahead's Nero works fine, roxio just proved painfu when it fell on it's ear. k
