Thanks mate, I will give your advise a try.

I am running XP and for some reason it does not recognise my HP9300i burner as being burner if I try to install 3rd party software. While I can burn a cd with the program built into xp, if I try to install Nero, Easy Cd creator,fireburner, clone CD, they all come back with the message no compatible hardware installed. All this software worked fine in ME so what gives? A friend tells me that there is an ASPI layer that is needed and can be downloaded off the net. First I don't know what an ASPI layer is, where to find it, or if it will solve the problem. Hohum soooo confused. Can anybody set me straight?
