: How do disable the the cd creator to run cd master
Do you have Adaptec Easy CD Creator installed? If so, Did you install
DirectCD? If so, you need to disable DirectCD before running CDMaster32 as
DirectCD "takes ownership" of the CDWriter and will cause the error.
DirectCD is known "throughout the industry" for causing trouble with
non-Adaptec products. They somehow aquire control of the CDWriter and cause
havoc with applications like mine.
As to the How:
In Windows 98, you can go into "MSCONFIG", go to the "Startup" tab and
disable the "Adaptec Direct CD" box. Then reboot the system and you will
have to load the adaptec software each time you use it.
Under WinNT4 / Win2000, here's how I disable DirectCD:
1) Press <CTRL><SHIFT><ESC> together to bring up the Windows Task Manager
2) Click the "Processes" Tab.
3) Scroll down the processes list until you find "directcd".
4) Click on "directcd"
5) Right-Click the mouse.
6) Select "End Process".
