Hi,
I upgraded the WIndows 2000 to WIndows XP. After upgrading I can't use the Easy cd creator. I get an error message directcd.exe - Application Error The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on Ok to terminate the application.

Any idea?

This behavior occurs because certain versions of Roxio products are not compatible with Windows XP.

To resolve this behavior, contact Roxio for a fully compatible version of Easy CD Creator. To work around this behavior, upgrade to Easy CD Creator 5.1.

Note You cannot follow these steps to install Direct CD.
1. Download the 5.1 update for Easy CD Creator 5.0x. To do this, visit the following Roxio Web site:
http://www.roxio.com/enu/support/ecdc/s ... dates.html (http://www.roxio.com/enu/support/ecdc/s ... dates.html)
Note You must upgrade Easy CD Creator 4.0x to Easy CD Creator 5.0 or later if you want to receive support from Roxio.
2. Either double-click Setup.exe or insert the installation CD-ROM, and then click Install Easy CD Creator.
3. Click Next.
4. Click I Accept the terms in the license agreement, and then click Next.
5. Click Custom, and then click Next.
6. Click Direct CD, and then click Next.
7. Click This feature will not be available, and then click Next.
8. Click Install, and then click Finish.
9. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click No (do not restart the computer).
10. Double-click the 5.1 update.
11. Click Yes, and then click Update.
12. Click Yes to restart the computer.
