Q: Hey everyone:
bought a first burner for my GF for Christmas: was wondering what everyone would suggest for software with the easiest learning curve? I have Nero for so long, I do not even think twice about. However, the few times my GF was at my computer, she was intimidated by her. She is running Win XP Adaptec Easy CD creater should be updated to version 5.0 for compatibility. I shudder at the thought of installing, because I remember it not nice to play well with other programs.

Re:Since 'ease of use' is your highest priority, I suggest going with the Adaptec.
While I too am an avid Nero fan, there are settings and such in Nero that are intimidating…EasyCD is the way to go for the GF to start, then work her up to Nero!
Re:Speaking of Nero, how do you get restricted users to be able to burn CDRs in Win2K/XP?
The times I've tried, it spouts some error message that the Administrator user must assign CD burning privileges first.
Re:when I first got a burner, I used the Adaptec stuff- worked well, but had squirrely problems- sometimes all of my cd drives would disappear!! AND the thing that frustrated me the most, was that Mr. Adaptec WOULD NOT PLAY WELL WITH HIS FRIENDS
It always wanted to take over anything having to do with cdrom's.
Now, I have a happy symbiosis with Nero, CDRWin, and Clone cd.
Maybe the newer Adaptec software is better???

Re:i personally like the adaptec interface… at least back in 4.0 days.. 5.0 was the same i think, but more web based (using ie engine). but i only use nero cause i don't think it's too difficult to use. you'd be surprised at how many ppl can't use it properly…..
Re:am i the only one that loves Adaptec……………??
Re:yeah, I love Nero too: guess she'll have to ( GASP) RTFM

Re:Nero is be far the best prog for burning, don't like the wizard? It's extremely straight forward;).
Re:Intimidated by Nero? I guess she'll just have to learn how it works. Nothing difficult about it.
