Yeah, that's the part I disliked about it. I had to burn a lot of
files at work, and with Adaptec Direct CD this took ages, since each
file was done separately. I actually used three hours to burn a
single CD. On a 2x drive! And it failed to work!
It wasn't my own computer, so I couldn't install any other software.
Hopefully I will get my own CD writer at work so that I don't have to
use that awful software again.

I was probably not precise enough. I burned the offending CD on
another person's computer. When I tried it in my own, the system
locked up and I've never gained access to the CD drive again. I have
no idea what happened.
This is Windows NT 4 on a Compaq Deskpro workstation.
I've tried to look into the configuration menus, but there doesn't
appear to be anything I can use there.
Ah, well. I can always call the system operators and have them help
me. But I'd rather be able to fix it myself...
