TSGL: cd read/write troubles

[Tilman Brandl]

Hi Joe,

this sounds a bit like the problem I've reported earlier. See the tread on 'Program start triggers DIFFERENT program' of 15 Dec 2006. Maybe you can resolve this by runnning the installer cleaner that's referenced there.

  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?
