Easy CD Creator 5.3 doesn't work any more (E80041916: TrackWriter error- Insufficient memory) ???

[CD Guy]

At some point between 2 to 4 weeks ago, a problem has developed with
Easy CD Creator 5.x on a Win-98 computer.

When using Easy CD Creator 5.3 to burn some files onto a blank CD-R,
my experience is:

-------------
Select files for burning onto blank CD-R media
- Two progress bars are shown
- When the "burn" button is hit, the first bar is active and goes to
100% (several times?) as the files to be burned are checked out.
Then that bar stays at 100%
- Next, the second bar (burn process) remains blank, and it seems for
a few seconds that the burn process will start, but then the drive
spins down and the CD is ejected. An error message appears saying
the burn was not successful. When details are selected, it reads:

CD Creation Errors

E80041916: TrackWriter error
- Insufficient memory to complete the operation

When the messages are closed, and when CD Creator is closed, a
final error message appears with "Creatr50" in the title bar:

- This program has performed an illegal operation and will be
shut down.
Details: Creatr50 caused an invalid page fault in module
KERNEL32.DLL (etc).
--------------

The specs of the hardware:
OS: Windows-98se, Intel P-4, 512 mb ram
80 gb hard drive partitioned as:
C drive 32 gb (20 gb free)
D drive 32 gb (32 gb free)

CDRW drive:
Made by LG (formerly Goldstar)
Model HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8527B

This computer has been burning many CD-R's over the past year or two
with no change to the amount of RAM installed, and any other changes
have been updates or patches from Microsoft WindowsUpdate, as well as
updates to Norton AntiVirus 2002, AdAware, and Spybot. The last CD
that was burned successfully was in late November - 2005. Between
approx. Nov 25 and Dec 20 is when this problem developed.

Internet and usenet searches don't really turn up much information.
Some posts (in April and October 2002) indicate that some people have
seen this before:

"I have 512 MB of memory, and 20 Gb of free disk space in
the specified temporary directory" and "I have 512 megs of
RAM, how much is enough?"

This problem has been replicated on 3 other computers with similar
hardware (they all started with the same cloned disk image of Windows
98 that was created about 2 years ago).

Some people have indicated that having too much ram (ie 1024 mb) can
cause this problem (but in my case I have 512 mb). It has also been
mentioned that a Klez virus can be responsible for this problem - but
special Klez scanning and removal software has been run and has found
no trace of Klez.

I have un-installed Easy CD creator on one machine (and have gone into
the registry and manually deleted all adaptec/roxio/easy_cd entries)
and re-installed the software as follows:

Fresh install from CD
Easy CD Creator (basic) Version 5.3.0.107

Still can't burn a cd (get same error). I then install this item:

ecdc_v5.3.5.10_basic_enu.exe (version 5.3.5.10)

follows by this:

5.3.5.10q_up.exe (version 5.3.5.10q)

And still get the same error when trying to burn.

There have been 2 recent microsoft updates applied to the computer
that coincide with the appearance of this problem:

DirectX update KB904706
Cumulative IE update KB896688

The following updates have not (yet) been applied:

Cumulative IE update KB905915
Win98 Security update KB908519
Security update KB891711

A google web search for "E80041916" returns this link:

http://boards.support.roxio.com/roxio/board/message?board.id=ez6p_cc&message.id=714

But that link just seems to display the main forum page and not a
specific message.

When viewing Google's cached version of that link, it appears that
there was a thread relating to error number E80041916 posted in May or
June 2003 in the Easy CD-Creator 6 forum. Strange - but it appears
that Roxio has wiped out all the old posts and I can only see posts
(in any forum) no older than Jan 4 / 2006.

Google is indicating that it has 20 results cached from the above
thread, but results 11 through 20 do not seem to bring up the
associated posting (so I don't know how, or if, that issue was
resolved in that forum).

I tried to register on the Roxio discussion groups so I could post my
question there, but the "new user" registration page doesn't seem to
be taking my registration information.

This is really bugging my ass. Has anyone running Easy CD Creator 5.x
have any problems recently with error E80041916: TrackWriter error?

I'm leaning towards Microsoft updates KB904706 and KB896688 because
that's the only thing that has changed recently. Are there any known
issues with those updates?

Easy CD Creator 5.3 is obsolete. You need the latest version.

You want to give me a more recent version (or point me to a link where
I can download an OEM basic version) ???

Reason I have 5.3 is because it was included with the CDRW drives that
we bulk-purchase every once in a while (LG CDRW drives). But a couple
of years ago, LG changed the OEM software that comes with these drives
to Nero 6.x. I think the basic Nero software sucks, so we stick with
the old Easy CD Creator. It's only used for generating software
distribution disks. These are not power-users using this software.

I'd like to know why all of a sudden it's broken - and if some recent
Windows updates are responsible.

I've been reading where lots of people are very upset with KB904706
and KB896688.

Easy CD Creator 5.3 is obsolete. You need the latest version.

Another solution may be to move onto something else:

* Sony CD Extreme
* BurnAtOnce
* CDBurnerXP
* DeepBurner
* Burn4Free

I made my first data backup with Easy CD Creator 5.x. No error
messages. It's certainly less frustrating than the balking that you
might get from some burner software. Until you check the backed up
data and realize that it's far, far better to get complaints about the
inability to burn things then to be allowed to assume that
everything's OK. It has taken a while, and I'm still working on
problems getting the above to work, but at least I know when they do.
For example, CD Extreme & BurnAtOnce work with single session burns.
The others, I'm still sorting out problems with unrecognized SCSI
command field values. I suspect that installing ForceASPI will solve
those problems, though I've had to put it off due to time constraints.

Roxio, What a Joke (FRAUD) - "0.9x" DAE Speed Bug Returns

From: smh
Subject: TEAC W552E EZCD6

Are there any reported issues with the above ?
I'm having bad audio extraction rates (i.e. x1) reported.

Don't tell me the infamous "0.9x" DAE Speed bug returned!

----------------------------
Mike Richter is a LIAR (dae)
----------------------------

Easy Coaster Creator 4.0 was released with the following bug:

Major bugs fixed in 4.02 (in 3/00, 7 months after its release):

System Tests for Digital Audio Extraction. Copying audio tracks from
CD to hard disk or CD-R gave much slower results in version 4 than
version 3.x for some CD-ROM drives, so with some systems it was
impossible to copy audio tracks directly from CD to CD-R.

[ In plain language, the System Tests gives "0.9x" as the DAE speed
of most, if not all, CD drives. (Acraptec tacitly acknowledged
that ALL IDE CD drives were affected by the bug.) ]

The reason why Ezcd 4.0 was released with such a bug is this:
=======================
From: Adrian Miller (Acraptec)
Date: 4/7/00
Subject: Acraptec Gibberish 101 and === More LIES ===

The DAE issue did not show up until after shipping of 4.00.
During beta testing all the testers reported DAE speeds in 4.00
similar to what they got in 3.5c.
======================

The beta testers did not discover the bug despite having a "significant"
beta program:
======================
From: Mike Richter
Date: 9/2/99
Subject: EZ Creator 4. 0 - True it has MAJOR bugs ?

They had a significant beta program ...
=====================

Imagine having a "significant" beta program, yet cannot even find an
'impossible not to detect' bug!

[ See the end why it's an 'impossible not to detect' bug.]

Mikey Richter's weasel excuses why beta test did not find the bug are:

======================
From: Mike Richter
Date: 4/6/02
Subject: Shitty Beta Testing at Roxio-Adaptec

What is the point of beta testing at all
if you do not use representative sample of burners in use.

Not all beta testers use Plextors or SCSI, but while I was testing
for them, many of us did. In general, beta test is for functionality
rather than diversity - that is, the company wants competence in
determining and reporting performance, not variety of hardware.
Hardware testing requires many drives, firmware versions,
motherboards and so on. It is generally done by the manufacturer
(alpha level) because they have the hardware.

======================
From: Mike Richter (cRoxio Shit)
Date: 4/7/02
Subject: Shitty Beta Testing at Roxio-Adaptec

... beta testing is used to find hw
incompatibilities as well. It just strikes me as odd that a
significant problem with ide dae could get pass any
reasonably diligent testing program.

Beta testing finds whatever the testers turn up. Given the variety of
hardware on which CD recording depends, that means that compatibility
per se is examined at alpha or through public beta. AFAIK, neither
Adaptec in the past nor Roxio more recently has ever conducted a
public beta. With a manageable base of external testers, there's
little hope of turning up hardware incompatibilities so the
publisher does whatever it manages at the alpha level.
======================

What a weasel cockamamie mumbo jumbo Mikey spins!

Regardless whether beta test is only for functionality and not for
hardware incompatibility, this bug is 'impossible' to miss:

=======================
From: Adrian Miller (Acraptec)
Subject: smh is wasting bandwidth again
Date: 4/14/00

the program insists that [System] tests are run on drives
when it is first run
=======================

System Tests has to be run when Ezcd is first used! That is, hardware
testing is forced!

Mikey Richter's weasel excuse that beta testing did not find the
"impossible not to detect" bug because beta testing is not for hardware
incompatibility is an unadulterated, white LIE (FRAUD).

At some point between 2 to 4 weeks ago, a problem has developed with
Easy CD Creator 5.x on a Win-98 computer.

Others have chastised you for posting to the universe as a whole; since
I am reading in an appropriate group, I'll offer what help I can.

The problem with obsolete software is not that you need to upgrade but
that few are still running it, so there's not much hope of help. I left
ECDC for WinOnCD at about the same version you have, then moved to Nero
about two years ago.

A later version of Roxio's software is unlikely to solve your problem;
compatibility with 98SE has not been a high priority for some time and
it appears that your difficulty originates in Windows' memory
management. That is supported both by the error message during the burn
and by the one when you shut down the app.

You provide a thorough definition of your system and the event, but not
a description of the sort of burn you are trying. If it is *not* a
simple data burn from the hard drive, then try that elementary step. If
such a modest burn does not work, I'd blame the OS patches; try backing
them out to see if they are the cause. Unfortunately, if they are, I
don't know how you can both secure your system and continue to use the
software.

If you were trying a more difficult burn such as writing CD-DA from MP3
on the fly, then memory itself can be the problem. IIRC, the problem
with memory occurred at 256 MB and was due to the auxiliary chips not to
Windows itself.

And if you do have anything further to report, please pick one forum
such as a.c.p.c. where I read your post.

[Guest]

I am still usung EZ4.05 which is the max upgrade from 2.x.
Am having no problems sence I got rid of the LG burner.
One thing you might try out is slow down both the read and burn speeds.
The new burners are too fast sometimes.
The burner I'm useing,and really like,I ripped out of an old Compaq
Presario PC.
It reads at 32X.
It burns at 12X max. Works great for successful burns each time.

win2ksp1, win2ksp2. No wonder you've put your head in the sand, its the
best you can do.

I'm Adapcrap/Roxio free, don't have time to debug the betas you sell
time after time, that never work as advertised, tech support sucks,
and the only thing they really care about is getting the product out
ther door, so they can take our money. Tons of bugs never fixed, and
with each 'release' we get to have 'fun' finding the same old ones
back again, plus for a spin, some news ones.

You guys need to take this to your own newsgroup, and drop out of the
general CDR group. No wonder you have a subscription news-mailer, so
its not totally in the public eye, and you can filter all you like.

Start a new group like;

comp.publish.cdrsoftware.EZ-CD.is.broke.broke.broke

OK I'll let you go back and "work" on some more stuff that just got
broke, have fun, Later!

Same Problem Here

Hi CD Guy! I am experiencing the exact same problem here using Windows 98 and the Easy CD Creator 5.3. I get the same Error Message regarding memory and it is driving me crazy. Have you found out the answer yet? I have downloaded those Microsoft Updates and am now leaning towards this being the source of the problem. Can I uninstall them to go back to an earlier update? I appreciate anyone'e insight

Thanks!
