Information about programs that work with Windows XP

WinZip: The source for the classic Windows ZIP file program.

Compaq's CarbonCopy: It's now called Altiris CarbonCopy, but it still enables you to remotely access a computer over a LAN or the Internet.

Roxio's Easy CD Creator only works with XP if it is Version 5, from what I've read. I've used CD Creator ever since Corel owned it, but Roxio's refusal to allow an upgrade from the full retail version of 4.0 Deluxe p*ssed me off so much that I bought a Lite-On 24x CDRW with Nero. Nero has free upgrades from 4 and 5 (I believe version 5.5 is needed for Windows XP). I see now that Nero is a much better program than Sleazy CD Creator.

don't care much for Roxio my own self and it does have to be version 5.
heard a lot about Nero latley might be worth a look see. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif

[Off topic, but...] If a person already has, say, a 500MHz CPU, 256MB RAM, 10GB HDD, and a decent monitor: the best $85 (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=manufactory&catalog=5&manufactory=1336&DEPA=1) upgrade is the 24x Lite-On (also sold under the Cendyne label (packed in cardboard instead of protective foam)).

Kenja the 16x ain't too bad either....and the Nero upgrade takes you up to 5.5, which I like alot. No problems at all with my 500MHz, 10GB HDD, and 192MB....(close but not quite... http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif)
