Easy CD & DVD Creator 6

I swore off Roxio in version 4.0. Then I forgot why and forked out the bucks for Easy CD Creator 6. I installed v 6.0 yesterday and now I remember why: Its like making a deal with the devil. The program un-hid two hidden Dell partitions; it would not recognize my Sony DVD RW drive (510A); my Dell 4550 now crashes every few hours, even after I uninstalled Roxio and threw the thing away (surely my computer can sense that I threw it away!). The program obviously planted something in my registry or my Windows folder that cant be removed on un-install. Now Ill probably have to re-format my C: drive and re-install everything. So theres a day of my life sucked up because I fell for the Roxio juggernaut. Why, oh why do we keep falling for this idiocy?

I purchased the Plextor PX-708A top of the line DVD/CD burner and the software that came with it was Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator. Well let me tell you it gave me the blue screen of POWER FAILURE Error and after that whenever I tried to shut down my computer it would just restart. I didnt realize this was causing the problem and I thought the new burner needed a better system so I built a new custom sytem getting the best montherboard ASUS has to offer P4 plus 1 Gig of memory well after reinstalling everything guess what the same problem happened thats when I started researching online and found that ROXIO sucks, they need to test the product before sending to the market. I had to reinstall Window 2000 again and the CD with Roxio will never go in my computer again. Now my computer works fine. I went out and purchases NERO 6 Ultra Edition, it works much better but you need to download the patches first. Both of these products try to offer to much other crap they need to get the software for burning down solid before adding on other crap and make sure they test it.

Worked great for me.

I received the free version of Easy CD & DVD creator that came with my PC and it caused nothing but problems. After installing it and testing out the features I used the add remove programs to remove everything except the basic burning software. After rebooting I got an INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error. A google search using the error code showed that other users had the same problem with older versions of this software I am using version 6.1.1.7. Using the repair console and the online documentation I was able to fix the problem and get back into my system. Now when I reboot I get a DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE BSOD and the system runs check disk next time it boots. Again Roxio easy CD creator caused the problem. They have a patch for this but they seem to be keeping it a secret. ([...] My biggest complaint is that none of this information is on their tech support web site. I found it using google. Maybe they should have a [...] to let everyone know how bad this software is. They have one for Compaq ([...]

Well, it might seem so at first, but it actually turns out to be a great deal. Offer a set of tools from CD to DVD burning and Photo-Editing. This update aims to provide users with a all in one solution that continues its tradition of ease of use. Because DVD-Burners are not white spread or people might not be burning home movies, the most used application or component must Easy CD Creator Classic, which still remains true to it self with minor improvements to user interface. If you do want expand your capabilities and to new areas such a DVD Burning which I think is great medium for easily back up your data. Burning movies is very easy, the 123 step approach the program takes make this a great asset and fun project for the family. The Photo-Editing solution is not inviting and not recommended, as I already use Photoshop Elements which is awesome enough to do what I want. But for simple jobs Easy CDs Photo-Editor will come true for many users especially as a bargain. Users who might want save a few dollars can look to the All in One solution,Nero 6 Ultra Edition, that has almost everything except the Kitchen sink. Overall, if you want the simplicity with extra tools that grow and expand into to other areas with you, Easy CD & DVD Creator, is certainly an easy choice.

I have been using PCs since 1982. I have purchased many commercially developed software programs. Roxio and Easy CD Ver 6 wins first place as the worst program I have ever purchased. Technical support is a joke to say the least. I will NEVER buy anything from Roxio or any successors. I purchased this version in Sept. 2003 and have lost count as to the number of times I have installed and uninstalled this software. I tried calling the tech. support number and the area code had changed. They have no phone number that you can call without a credit crd number being used. There is no mailing address, save their legal department. I just wish I had been happy with version 5 which came installed on my new computer. The web site support is very lacking in assistance. Caveat Emptor is the best expression for Roxio Products. Find an alternate product that does the same job. The reason for one star is that is the least you can use, on this site.

It does not work with newer computers and newer windows. Would cost more to send it back than I paid for it.Its worthless.

I bought this solely based on the Roxio reputation. I installed it, the DVDs I burned didnt work (it crashed). I spent serveral hours downloading the upgrades from the Roxio site, then tried it again. The DVD crashed still!!! The store I bought this from (Best Buy)does not take open software returns (none!) So I stepped outside then threw this entire package into the trash. I gave this product one star only because Amazon doesnt have a lower rating.

Nobody else in that market has a comprehensive set of tools like Creator 6. Nero doesnt come close. The new Disc Copier will copy games that nobody else can touch, and burning audio CDs is much faster than older versions. I like how the new project selector ties all the programs together and how it can be minimized on screen so you always have access to your burning apps. Great job Roxio.

After reading the reviews, it is easy to see that Im NOT the only one having all sorts of problems. Roxio Easy (LOL) CD/DVD Creator came bundled with my new TDK DVD burner. It has got to be the sorriest software Ive ever attempted to install, with the exception of some freeware. It exposed hidden partitions, only partially installed, and Im seeing the dreaded BSOD, telling me that there is a software or hardware conflict. Version 5 came with my computer, so I had to go back to using it. Also, ever since I TRIED to install version 6, ACDSee tries to act as Windows Explorer. I would advise any and everyone who is even thinking about purschasing this software NOT to. Its looking like Im going to have to wipe my HD and start all over.
