Cornholio 0 #5 August 25, 2002 QuoteOh, and for the record, I use 2000 pro. XP sucks XP does NOT suck. It only sucks for those who don't know how to use it to the fullest extent. The only complaint I have is ripping CDs... you would think that after the Win2K fiasco, that MS would incorporate ASPI drivers into their OS. Other than that, XP is very solid. Butthead: Whoa!

JohnT 0 #6 August 25, 2002 tell her to get Nero http://www.ahead.com.de I think?! then either buy it, probably worth it, or do something naughty which I am not advocating at all at http://www.astalavista.com and look for something in their search engines which MAY overcome the registration issue.

freakyrat 1 #7 August 25, 2002 My Dell8200 came with Windows XP and it works great. I have both Music Match Jukebox 6 and Roxio Easy CD Creator 5.1 installed. I've made CD's with both with Jukebox 6 being the easier of the two programs. If your friend has Roxio CD Creator 5 installed on her computer it is NOT compatible with Windows XP. You have to go to Roxio's website and download an upgrade patch to make version 5 work with XP. This will convert her version to version 5.1 which works well with XP. Hope this helps.

skymama 37 #8 August 25, 2002 The friend is me. I had Roxio 3.1 on my machine before I installed XP. I went to the site, and it said that the patch wouldn't work with that version. So, Gary tried to help me, but it didn't work. I went through the whole wizard too, and it said it did work, but when I played the cd, there was about 5 seconds of a buzz sound, and then nothing.

freakyrat 1 #12 August 26, 2002 Hi Andrea It seems like in XP earlier versions of some software are just no compatible Roxio being one of them. I use Paint Shop Pro 6 at work for some of our graphics and version 7 is a little more compatible with XP. I would go to Best Buy and get a copy of Roxio Easy CD Creator 5.1 or Easy CD Creator 5 if 5.1 isn't available and dowload the 5.1 update from Roxio's site. A friend I work with had 5 on his machine and he had to download the 5.1 XP update from Roxio Music Match Jukebox 6 or 7 will work with XP also and I've used it for burning audio CD's but I use Roxio for copying discs and making backup discs etc cause it's a little better designed for that. Hope this all helps. If you decide to go with other audio CD software just make sure it's compatible with Windows XP. Some people on this forum may not like Windows XP but I think it works just fine, has onboard computer diagnostics etc and is really stable. The only quirk I've found with it is it doesn't come up with the little troubleshoot window when your printer is out of paper etc. HP told me that that was a separate feature in earlier windows systems that didn't make it onto XP. The only other thing XP eats a lot of resources like hard drive space and memory to run all the hidden stuff like the diagnostics etc. That's why I bough a huge hard drive and double DDRAm memory when I bought my Dell last year. I'm using about 6 Gigs of HD space and I don't know how much memory. Also Jump Track software is fully compatable with Windows XP.

LOL.. but WAIt.. I had to go there anyways.. XP is ok, there's a bit of a learning curve, just having to relearn this or that. for don't know computers very well, it can be a blessing or a curse.....I promise not to TP Davis under canopy..

freakyrat 1 #14 August 26, 2002 Lummy Agrred the window that said you were out of paper was dumb anyway when the red light flashes on your printer. Duh! Well I hope this fixed skymama up in the audio CD dept. Cheers Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #15 August 26, 2002 If you're using a un-legit copy of XP, I would recommend that you stay away from Service Pack 1. Microsoft is starting to track who has offical copies and who doesn't.____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miked10270 0 #16 August 26, 2002 Hi Chris, "XP eats a lot of resources like hard drive space and memory to run all the hidden stuff like the diagnostics etc." If you're happy with how your computer is running, create a restore point, then run Disc Cleanup - go to more options and you can delete all but the latest restore point. This should free up anything up to 7% of your total disc space. Regards, Mike D10270. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.
