I use 5.0 with no problems.
Installed it on several of my configurations
Of course I never install the part of the program that allows you to drag and drop in explorer (forgot the name of that part of EZ CD)
If you go to Roxios website they explain step by step the installation process to make sure it the program works under XP

Taken from Roxio's website :
Installation instructions for users installing Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum in Windows XP:
xp_up_platinum.exe- This web update is designed to update any existing 5.0x Platinum version of Easy CD Creator to work on Windows XP. This update will install Windows XP specific drivers and make the necessary registry entries, which allow Easy CD Creator to operate correctly.
In Windows XP, (We recommend a custom install and removing Take Two from the installation, also if you receive a warning that no CD Recorder was detected continue with the install anyway.) install Easy CD Creator 5.0x Platinum.
Restart after installation is complete.
Download xp_up_platinum.exe (1.9MB) and install it.
Restart after installation is complete.
It is recommended that you update your Easy CD Creator Platinum to 5.02c (ecdc_v502c_up.exe - 5.6MB)
Restart after installation is complete.
Run xp_up_platinum.exe (1.9MB) a second time.
Easy CD Creator has been updated to function properly on Windows XP.
Note: Take Two will be disabled by this update due to incompatibility with Windows XP.

Because of Roxio's crappy support, crappy web site, and even crappier SW updates, I've switched to Nero5 w/ ZERO problems on XP
i have nero too i will upgrade to that too
