Adaptec Direct CD doesn't burn audio cds - it's a packet-writing package that
allows you to dump data a little at a time on a cd till you're done with it.
And its garbage, for the most part. You're thinking of Adaptec Easy CD
Creator, mostly likely, which usualy comes bundled with Direct CD.

He has Windows NT 4.0. You're thinking of either Win9x or Windows 2000 -
there is nothing in the system control panel in NT 4 that resembles Device
Mananger you're thinking of in 9x/2000.

I would say that this direct CD package had to install a UDF driver for the
CDROM and that some how that got corrupted or corrupted the original driver.
Reapplying the latest service pack might take care of it, then again it might
not. I've never had this happen before, not like this.
