PPT, Ouch!! Easy CD Creator from Roxio (formerly Adaptec) is a non starter with Windows 2000. I burned a lot of coffee coasters before I gave up and called the Freecom helpline. The gave me a free copy of Nero.
Nero works well with Windows 2000 although the interface graphics are not as polished as Easy CD Creator.
Easy CD Creator is fine with Windows 98, 98SE and ME, however.
