Any one have any ideas? Thanks in advance
 
Look in the System and Application logs for Error and Warning reports at
about the time the problem arises and post copies here.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools,
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event
Viewer. Now start your message(email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. This will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report
complete with links into the message. Make sure this is the first paste
after exiting from Event Viewer.


Hope this helps.

I had version 5..I uninstalled it because I didn't like it. Plus I was having
problems with it after I upgraded my PC to WinXP from Win2000. I got Nero
Burning ROM with my CD-R/RW drive and installed that instead. Is that
cdudf_XP driver leftover from the un-install?
 
The early versions of Easy Creator 5 did not work well with Windows XP.
It is common if uninstalled for it to leave Registry entries.

would download and install cCleaner
http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp
http://www.ccleaner.com/

Once you have installed cCleaner create a new System Restore point.
http://bertk.mvps.org/html/createrp.html

Next start cCleaner and select the Issues tab and check all boxes.
Select scan and then check all boxes before the Issues identified and
click on Fix. You can backup before fixing the issues. It will give
information before implementing each fix study each so that you
understand what it is proposing to do. If anything subsequently seems
wrong you can always you use the System Restore point to put the
Registry back to what it was before running cCleaner. Otherwise you need
to proceed slowly with cCleaner. Try out bits at a time to see how it
works and what it does.

When all is done recheck your original problem. If it is not solved
reboot the computer, retry Add Hardware and then look again for Error
and Warning Reports in Event Viewer since rebooting.

I downloaded ccleaner and ran it..had it fix all the things it found...still
getting the warning about the cdudf_XP driver not loading...also my pc still
restarts when running the Add Hardware wizard. I have another question,
last week I noticed on the Display Properties->Settings it says Plug and Play
Monitor on blah-blah graph. card. I have a Mag Innovision Monitor, I wanted
to see about getting a driver for it, so I went to their website and
downloaded the drivers and then tried to install it and Windows kept saying
it could'nt do it . Could that be what is causing the problem with the Add
Hardware wizard? Thanks for your help.
