Disabling DirectCD

[John Marsh]

A question for Michael or Peter:

In several threads here you have mentioned that it is important that no other CD burning program is active when attempting a burn with AC. On my Windows 2000 system I have Roxio DirectCD installed which loads a program "directcd.exe" at bootup.

Before using AC I disable DirectCD by opening Windows Task Manager, finding the process "directcd.exe" and ending that process. Am I correct in my assumption that this is sufficient to prevent any conflict between AC and DirectCD? I would hope that I don't need to totally uninstall DirectCD.

Should be OK. And is IS very necessary. If it is not diabled, the moment that you insert a CD, it formats it as a DirectCD and renders the disk useless to AC.

I will write an FAQ on the subject when I get some time...things are hopping here...in a very good way ;>)

Thanks..
