I am The Pri,ary account, whenever we switch to other users
the error message "inCD cannot launch because other
programs are running" comes up. What does this mean, and
why does it keep appearing??

There's an article on Nero's web site about how to let other users use InCD.
Check their utilities. Look for the one called Nero BurningRight. As I
recall, its install defines a new user group which has rights to use the
CD-RW drive, so you use their Control Panel applet to add to that specialty
group the users that have rights to use the software. You get to choose if
only administrators have rights, if the Everyone group has rights (so
everyone can use it), or if just those you add to a Nero group can use the
program.

InCd is an app that erases/formats CD RW's .. mine came with a BenQ cd
burner and i had the sam prob and i am the only user on my pc.. i ended
up getting rid of the burner and the software... any way just disable it
thru Run/msconfig/startup tab and uncheck the application from
starting when you reboot... yu can always start it when u need it.
hope this hlps.. rob

Not really. It provides support for the UDF format (universal data format)
that lets files be written onto rewritable media. It must be rewritable
media since any prior copy of the file on the CD must get marked as deleted
and the file table updated to reflect the position for the newly added copy
of the file. It runs as another file system and why you have to reboot to
load its driver.

InCD is Nero's UDF writer program. DirectCD is Roxio's (Adaptec's) UDF
writer. UDF is a specialized format to allow dynamic update of CD media
without the need to use dedicated CD burning software. As such, and since
not everyone has a driver installed for a UDF reader, only you can read your
UDF-formatted and written CDs. Portability of the UDF disc is limited to
whomever has a UDF reader installed, and may be further restricted to only
those users that have the *same* UDF reader (which is compatible with
whatever UDF writer was used).

Just saying InCD erases and formats the CD rewritable media is severely
oversimplifying the feature along with underexaggerating the incompabilities
of using it.

No, it needs to load the UDF driver to add the file system for it so you can
then read from it (or write if the UDF driver also supports writing). That
means you have to reboot to load that extra file system for UDF. For info
regarding UDF, see http://www.osta.org/specs/index.htm. Also see
Microsoft's article at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/reskit/prkc_fil_ipge.asp.
UDF is an kernel mode installable file system driver and as such has to get
loaded during startup, not sometime later like an application. ZipMagic was
another installable file system that provided support for .zip files to make
them appear as folders in Windows long before it showed up in Windows XP. I
don't remember the exact problems with ZipMagic but I did have to get rid of
it because of incompatibilities or crashing. It was not a stable IFS
(installable file system). I've used both InCD and DirectCD and have also
found them to be unstable IFS'es often causing BSODs (blue screens of
death).
