One problem I ran into: Tried to install InCD on a machine which had, in
the past, had DirectCD installed.

InCD refused to install until DirectCD was uninstalled -- which it had
been, via the Adaptec/Roxio uninstaller, and several months earlier.

No amount of searching/editing the registry, fiddling with .dll's, .drv's,
.sys files etc. would change this, it just wouldn't install.

Nether company was able to make any suggestion other than re-formatting C:
(not an option at the time), so I still have no experience with InCD, but I
have to say that my time with DirectCD wasn't particularly happy -- even
write-once discs couldn't be trusted and it often wrecked re-writeables to
the point that extreme measures had to be employed to erase them.

Admittedly I haven't tried the current versions of either utility -- have
been a bit nervous of them, and media is so cheap now that the risk of data
loss hardly seems justified.
