Older DirectCD versions (1 or 2 yrs. old) weren't very good. Now, 
I've found the DirectCD/InCD programs reliable when successfully 
installed including all the updates, but not *BOTH* at the same 
time. 

The InCD/DirectCD driver conflicts in Win98/ME are *MOSTLY* in 
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS\. Please *DO NOT DELETE* any of the files 
there because you may not be able to get into Windows even in safe 
mode. Nero/InCD has precise info 
http://www.nero.com/en/content/helptool/139.htm#o139 on identifying 
and *RENAMING THE EXTENSIONS* of only the related .VXD files. You 
can't just rename the .VXD's anyway you feel like it! Refer to the 
URL above for this problem if you try to reinstall. I'm not 
responsible if something goes wrong!!! This URL 
http://www.nero.com/en/index.html#c1002822798638 is a good place to 
start if you have other related problems to the one above.

For me it's using xxcopy in batch to backup to CD-RW's. I 
just hit a mapped key on my keyboard and watch xxcopy go to work! 
I often backup files I'm working on in the moment and xxcopy and CD-
RW's are great for that.
