Am I the only one in the world having trouble with the Windows XP upgrade? It won't recognize my CD burner even with the free update from Adaptec. Error message says it will destabilize my syste. It won't recognize my scanner software at all, same error message. It doesn't like netscape, etc. etc. etc. I'm about ready to uninstall the shit and rescue my Windows ME. Anyone else out there having trouble with this thing?
Xp, A.k.a. Sob

It works great, but it takes some patience.
With regard to Adaptec, the instructions are very specific, and you have to follow them to the letter. Plus, XP really doesn't do well with previously installed versions of the Win 9x/ME compatible software.
To be honest, to validate, when I first installed XP, I downloaded the free trial, just to make sure there were no compatibility issues.
That done, I followed the following instructions to the letter:
Installation instructions for users installing Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum in Windows XP:
xp_up_platinum.exe- This web update is designed to update any existing 5.0x Platinum version of Easy CD Creator to work on Windows XP. This update will install Windows XP specific drivers and make the necessary registry entries, which allow Easy CD Creator to operate correctly.
In Windows XP, install Easy CD Creator 5.0x Platinum.
Restart after installation is complete.
Download xp_up_platinum.exe (1.9MB) and install it.
Restart after installation is complete.
It is recommended that you update your Easy CD Creator Platinum to 5.02c (ecdc_v502c_up.exe - 5.6MB)
Restart after installation is complete.
Run xp_up_platinum.exe (1.9MB) a second time.
Easy CD Creator has been updated to function properly on Windows XP.
Note: Take Two will be disabled by this update due to incompatibility with Windows XP.
