CD player/writer

[Mary]

The CDplayer/writer came as a part of my HP Pavilionx1848
which had Windows ME. After upgrading to XP, my
player/writer no longer works. I checked hardware and
found I have the drivers, but they evidently are not
activated through XP. Will I have to go ahead and change
back to ME to be able to copy CD's on my writer? I'm not
sure I would be able to do that (I'm not too computer
smart!) Would deeply appreciate any help you can give an
old 81 year old lady.

Your Pavilion probably came with EasyCD Creator v4 or an early version of v5
which is not supported under XP. I did try to see what exactly it was
shipped with at the HP website but there is no model called 1848 listed.

If it did come with v4, this is NOT compatible with XP and should have been
removed prior to upgrading. If it came with an early v5, there are updated
components available at the Roxio website... www.roxio.com
