TSGL: cd read/write troubles

[Ron Brunton]

I don't know that I have a solution. The problems I was having with InCD
only seemed to resolve after upgrading to the newest version of Nero (7.5
Ultra Enhanced - bit of overkill in a name, eh?). The other part is that
InCD does not install by default. Every time I've installed Nero (and that's
been a lot!) I've had to go to setup (Menu/Nero 7 Ultra edition/Product
Setup) and manually include InCD. (I'm running WinXP Pro,
SP2+patches&updates).

One approach to getting rid of roxio is to search the registry for "Roxio"
and any other names associated with it like "Easy CD" and "CD Creator" and
delete them all. (Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!)

InCD doesn't behave that way on my system (Win XP Home, SP2, all updates 
and patches, no spyware, etc.).
When I insert a blank CD-R in my CD-R drive, the autoplay screen comes up 
offering several Nero choices (none mentioning InCD), etc.

I brought up a Windows Explorer Window, created a new folder on the CD-R 
and dragged a file to it.  It then appears that the Windows packet writing 
software comes in because I get a message that files are ready to be 
written to CD.

What may be interfering is that I was never able to completely uninstall 
Roxio 6 even using RoxiZAP and the registry changes specified on Roxio's 
web site.  E.g., even a simple copy/paste in a Word document brings up a 
message that Roxio is about ready to install.  I cancel all such messages 
and the paste proceeds normally.

Any suggestions on how to get rid of this problem which may be the reason 
InCD is not working?
