Dell 4100, Adaptec DirectCD, Version 3.05 Update

I have Direct CD, Version 3.05 Update on my 4100, but can no longer find that update on the Dell site? Can anyone direct me to that update. I would be most grateful!

Thanks

    The updates are on the Roxio site, www.roxio.com Make sure you get the updates for V5 BASIC.

    This is the latest (only) update for the basic version.

    It states "This web update is designed to update English versions of Easy CD Creator Basic 5.x.x to version 5.3.5."

    Thanks fireberd for the reply!

    Version 5 updates 3.05?

    Actually I have searched high and low on the Roxio site for the 3.05 update,
    which is what I am most interested in, to no avail...

    firebred,

    Yes, I found those updates, however I am running 98SE on my 4100, and I don't believe
    any of the updates on that particular page are for me.

    I was only interested in finding the 3.05 update, as I will be upgrading my PC when Vista
    is released. I am trying to round up all updates, so I can reformat the 4100 after I move
    files, etc., to the new Dell...

    I do appreciate your replies! :-)

    Roxio no longer supports that version. The software to update DirectCD 3.01 to 3.05 was pulled from the Roxio site some time ago and is no longer available, unless someone has saved a copy of the update installation software.
     
    You might find a relatively inexpensive version on e-bay or some other used software outlet that is compatible with W98 for your 4100, but compatibility with previously created disks is not necessarily assured.

    Ahh, the old 3.05 version of Roxio. Sorry I misread it. I don't think those are available anymore.

    The V3.05 and V4 are not Windows XP compatible and I seriously doubt that V5 will even be Vista compatible. You will need a new version of Roxio, if you stay with Roxio. The current version is 8.

    Thanks fireberd and GreyMack,

    I was afraid that I was out of luck! I almost always copy any update to CD, but I sure missed
    this one! Thanks both of you...
