Russell Peters,
thank you for reply.

I set always .TempDir to windows temporary directory in my code. So it
seems than the problem is not there.

Backup to drive A: works OK in one of XP desktop computer. If works very
slowly to A: Last 20% takes
30 minutes or more. It did not work to A: in one XP HP omnibook notebook
which is not avalable for testing now. I own also this type notebook and it
is possible to insrtall XP to it to try to reproduce this (currenty it as
W2K). However, I'm concentrating to CD-R zipping problem.
When I set the property .AddDiskSpan = .t. when zipping to CD-R disk,
the error is a bit different :
.FullErrCode : 0x00000000
.ErrCode : 0x00002B01
.Message : Creation of output file failed
> What version is your ZipMaster ?
I'm using ZipMaster through free ActiveX wrapper (ocx file, no source code)
available in my website www.eetasoft.ee/zipmaster.htm Zipmaster OCX
author, PC Magazine editor wrote that he can give out his source code.
Unfortunately, I havent got responses for my latest emails to him. It was
some years ago when Chris was alive. I downloaded zipmaster ocx from German
PC Magazine web site. Resource hacker was used to change this ocx messages
to english.
Its .VersionInfo property returns 1.52 M
I cannot use later versions since I don't have Delphi, I don't have
knowledge how to use Delphi (I'm a FoxPro programmer) and don't know how to
make ocx file from ZipMaster.

Since I set .TempDir property always so I'm not sure this solves the
problem.
I tried to use the dll files from newdll.zip .
Zip creation causes errors like file not matched *.dbf for all my
.FSpecArgs patterns and no zip file is produced.
Must I try to use your newest dll files ?
Can you remove Easy CD Creator and try XP CD-R support (Easy CD creator is
not required for XP) ?
