In case anyone is having the same or similar problem this is what I did to fix it. I went back to device manager and removed the CD-RW then uninstalled easy CD 5.0 using add/remove software. Then I went back and reloaded version 5.0 of easy cd creator platinum from the cd. Then following the instructions exactly per the Roxio site for upgrading to XP which requires that you download & install XP_up platinum followed by rebooting. Then from the same site download and install ecdc_v502B and reboot again. Finally reinstall the 1st download, XP_up_Platinum and reboot one more time. At that point the device manager no longer had a problem and the CD-RW shows up in my computer as drive F: (this letter will vary depending on your config.) Proving once again that following "dumb" instructions is smarter than quessing your own way. Good luck

I have a similar problem. My drives Pioneer DVD and LITE-ON 1201B CD-RW worked fine under ME and XP until I loaded Easy CD 5.0. Since then DM shows that the driver is bad. (there is no driver for this P&P drive. I replaced the CD-RW with a Hi-Val CD-RW which shows up on the DM as a Lite-On 24102B and still shows as with a bad driver. I would also appreciate suggestions.

I recently upgraded to XP from ME and my CD-RW was recognized and operated fine as a CD. I downloaded Roxio's Easy CD creator 5.0 basic with the XP upgrade when I ordered the Easy CD Creator 5 platinum direct off their website. I did a partial music CD using basic but the full Platinum version showed up the next day so I followed instructions and removed basic before installing Platinum. I then went online and downloaded the XP patch. Upon restarting their were problems. Restart locked up and I had to have it "restart from the last successful start point". Since then whenever I restart it checks disks for errors, indicating something is not quite right in the shutdown. When I do get XP running the E: drive (LITE-ON LTR 12101B) does not appear in MY COMPUTER. In device manager it shows that there is a driver problem but I can find no other drivers. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
