Everything has been fixed
Thanks to some help from AmarSingh plus some other sites the record tab is back and working:
Since there seems to be other posts throughout these forms concerning the same problem I will explain how to resolve this issue: If you want to stick with using EZ CD Creator
1. Do a clean uninstall of Easy Cd Creator (see the roxio site for the correct procedure) Do a search under their knowledge base
I used key word: uninstalling - Product: EZ Cd Creator

2.Go to device manager and uninstall your CD-RW Drive
3.Reboot

5.Now check under my computer CD-RW Drive properties, record tab should be back.
6. Reinstall EZ Cd Creator -- do it in this order
7. Install from your EZ Cd Creator Platinum 5 CD select - do custom install - select only ez cd creator, lable maker, and sound stream.(if you want you can install everything , but DO NOT install TAKE TWO - its not supported, when done reboot
