SONY CRX 220-1\ 52 24 52\ NERO - ROXIO ECD CREATOR 5X PLATINUM

[chack]

I bought the Sony 220e-1 52-24-52 writer from newegg.com and it came with the Nero software,
now here is my problem\story:
before buying this cd-rom I double checked with Roxio for supported drives for the Roxio ecd creator Platinum 5x,

(which I own with all the already downloaded updates for w9x-w2k-xp etc,etc)now Roxio shows that the said drive is fully supported by ecd creator platinum.

So I went ahead and bought the drive, mounted it, and proceeded to install ecd creator PLatinum 5x,

rebooted, and installed the updates as well, but it wouldn't recognize my Sony roxio "supported" drive, I uninstalled roxio ecd creator and reinstalled it again and again,

but still no dice,but the plot thickens a bit.

So I went back to Roxio to check for updates,
and intended to download updates if any, but Roxio now want us to register before downloading any updates,

so I proceeded to "register", but to my surprise Roxio registration tells me that there is already a registered individual by my user name and so forth,

so I tried again with a different user name and address and I got the same story,
user by that name is already in use,
so now I'm stuck with $ 95 dollar software that I bought a couple years back, and no further updates! what can be done here.. Thanks

bacilus this is a off topic question , why? Why not, it's 'cause I like Roxio guy! Beside ECD platinum have a feature that Nero doesn't have, and that is: the Utility to" format " a CD-R to be used in a drag and drop mode,
and CD-R cost almost 0\free,
where CD-RW cost a lot, and that is what Nero option offers as a set up for drag&drop. I have tried Nero, and found that Roxio is far better..... I think that Nero better wake up and and write that feature in, then they'll have me for a customer.
