CDRW Software Recommendation/Thoughts Needed

Jedi Master
I'm looking at several different CDRW software packages. I've used Roxio EZCD 5 (don't want to go with that as there are several reported problems under WinXP, and their prior history under Win2000 is poor) and Nero 5.

Intellipoint 4.0 causing network slowdown

Preacher
Deinstall Intellipoint 4. 0 if you experience network slowdown and already went through all the solutions you can think of. With Intellipoint 4 installed, it would have taken me 183 - 358 minutes to transfer a 700 megs file on a 100 mbit network.

When I use word view simple graphics (boxes, lines etc. ) they appear messed up with lines or whole objects missing. I had a look at the MS knowledge base and it states that it’s a driver problem. I have got the newest video drivers 22.

Nero giving CRC errors after successful burn

Ekstreme
Hiya all. I've seen similar problems around, but no solutions. When using Nero 5. 5. 5. 1 burning large files seems to work perfectly, but when I try to copy the files back off the discs, I get a CRC error at the last 10-15 seconds of the copy process.
