Roxio CD Creator

Exactly what error message do you get?  With what program are you trying to burn with (Easy CD Creator, Direct CD or CD Copier) and what version are you using Version 5 basic or Platinum (basic came with the computer)?

I am having the same problem.  The errors that I get are. E8004139a:Idispatch Error #4506  &   E80070057:The parameter is incorrect.. I am using Roxio Easy CD creator 5.2 Basic.. We did an update that was on the Roxio Website but that didn't help either..

 

Thanks

Jim, if you updated you would have 5.3.2.34 for your version.

Go back and Here get the latest. Make sure you scroll down to get the one for Basic.

I am getting a patch error. I do have version 5.2 and have always had problems when attempting to burn a CD-R. I can use Window Media Player version 9 with no problems but, the issue is Roxio came with the computer and I expect it to work as it was created to perform that task.

I just got my new Dell 4550 last week and ran into the exact problem you are describing.  After reading some reccomendations on this board, I decided to try Stomp RecordNow Max from Veritas software (go to download.com to get a trial version).

Not only does this software seem to solve the problem, but it cut the burn time of a regular audio cd in half from what Roxio was doing.  I'm still evaluating the product, but its definitely looks like the way to go.  It's a shame Roxio's stuff doesn't work any better than it does, because I don't think this other software really offers any other features...other than the fact that it works.

one other note if you do use record now max: you should uninstall roxio first,it can conflict with record now max(see the readmetxt in record now max) you can download free trial here(30 days fully functinal version) http://www.stompinc.com/trial/index.phtml?stp

i switched from roxio to record now max 4.5 awhile ago and love it for cd's/dvd's, but i suggest not installing the DLA feature of record now max if you purchase the full version of it,supposedly it can cause headaches. just after installing the record now max, you will be prompted to install DLA, just cancel out of it and dont install it.(this happens on the full cd version, not the fre trial version) when making dvd's with record now max,close wizard and choose "DATA", thats the best way i found to do it. for cd's you can use wizard if you want, havent found any problems doing that.the only 1 thing i dislike about record now max 4.5.is that when adding stuff to the list to be burned(cd's or dvd's) it can be a hassle going from window to window to add the stuff, but not a real big issue

So besides switching to another product has anyone found a solution for this?  I'm having the same problem (Precision 650 tho) but can only find references to MP3 quality.  Are there any other causes for this error?
