>Hi Ed
>The version that comes with the cd writer is 3.5 I believe the win2k version is 4.5. They said it could take up to 2 weeks at wich time the return timetable will have run out. Are you using the 8200 series writer and if so does it work fine on the win2k machine after updating software?

Yep; as I said, I'm using the retail, not the OEM, version of the software, and it works fine after applying the patches from Adaptec's Web site. Most of the time I use it in conjunction with DirectDC, not EZ CD Creator, but I've used both since applying the updates.
