Easy CD Creator Error

M

Matthew

I've done a search for the above error, but I haven't found a good solution.

Back when I upgraded the hardware of my computer, I attempted to install the
software for my CD-RW drive, but that failed...leaving me with "...may cause
Windows to become unstable..."

Now, I bought a new CD-RW and I am currently using Nero, which works fine,
but I'd like to get rid of this annoying message. Any suggestions?

I have the same message and also would like to remove, but have not found
the dirver it is refering. I once had Adaptec software, but remove it prior
to upgrading and then installed the latest Roxio CD program, and the warning
showed up.
