There is a built in burner in XP and it is based on Roxio. It is very good
for people who aren't skilled with burning and will burn most anything your
burner is capable of. It works fine on several machines within my grasp.
Nero (especially) and Roxio have more features and may possibly burn
something that the built-in won't, but for casual burning, why shell out the
money?
Compatibility mode has never crashed the system here. That being said, it
isn't a cure - all. Some 9X programs will refuse to run in XP, no matter
what you do. Others will run and have the odd crash or unexpected exit.
About half will run flawlessly even without compatibility. XP is not 9.x,
though. Even if you crash a game or program, I've *yet* to see it bring down
the whole computer. I've had (by testing my old programs to see if they'd
run on XP) more than a few 9.x programs crash in XP, but have never had a
hung system or a reboot of the system after a crash. It really is much more
stable and it really handles crashes very gracefully.

as James Macmillan was rumoured to have uttered...
| I am certainly taking advantage of the excellent expertise on this list
| first query
| have a few Microsoft software e.g flight simulator, which was installed
| on former computer with ME wont load on new computer with xp
| a xp manual I read and I quote "windows xp has a feature called
| compatibility mode which in essence mimics the operating system, which
| lets you run games without problems. I am reluctant to do this as I think
| I would be heading for a crash?? any thoughts or ideas on this
| compatibility thing installed on xp???? second query
| windows xp states that to run a cd burner neither NERO or CD CREATOR are
| required as ROXIO is pre installed your input on this would be much
| appreciated
