This is a discussion about Windows Media Player 7 patch and Adaptec Direct CD in the Windows Software category; When I started Windows Media Player 7 earlier today, I got promted to download a patch for it.

When I started Windows Media Player 7 earlier today, I got promted to download a patch for it. The patch included something for Adaptec Easy CD Creator, and other things I can not remember at the moment. Well, when I rebooted, Adaptec DirectCD can't find a supported CD-R recorder. It worked just fine before I downloaded the patch !
I have a Plextor 8/4/32 IDE CDRW recorder and the final ver. of WMP 7

Adaptec's site says how to fix it. I think you need to uninstall EZCD4 and reinstall it.

uninstall the Windows Media Player 7 first, then re-install it (don't use Windows Update, go to microsoft to download wmp7), during the installation of wmp7, avoid installing the cd writer plugin (you can disselect is when doing custom install)
