what would you try

[Sammy Castagna]

For the last couple weeks I have been having two
intermittent problems with win-xp. After installing a new
cd-writer and the packet writing software the cd would
lock up. I called the company the cd-writer came from they
were no help. I called the company that made the software
thet let me up grade to a newer version and admitted they
had been having trouble with win-xp. In the mean time I
ordered different software thinking it would be better it
locked up xp. So I am back to the upgrade of the software
that came with the cd-writer which was said to be xp
compatible. Sometimes xp hangs on startup and sometimes I
get a blue screen at shut down with some numbers.

What would you all try a new cdwriter with different
software? A clean install and then a new cd-writer if I
can find one withe different software. Where would you
start?

Thanks Sammy Castagna

Did you uninstall the old software that you were having a problem with
before you installed the new software?

Hi Sammy,

It would be helpful to those offering advice to know the brands of both your
writer and the software you are trying to use.
