plextools shuts me down

[mohillmd]

My daughter wanted to add Karaoke capability to our music room computer which was running Windows 98 and had a CD RW drive and a CD DVD drive. I purchased Karaoke Suite 4 package and a plexwriter 52x CDR Internal Mount IDE Drive which I installed to replace the CD RW drive which was not compatible with CD+G. I installed the Karaoke Suite 4 from the CD provided and inserted the Plexwriter disc which installed Plextools and other products on the disc. This promptly froze up my keyboard and my mouse. I was able to remove the plextools from my computer in windows 98 safe mode which freed up my keyboard and mouse. A repeated attempt to install the plexwriter software resulted in same problem. My computer guru suggested upgrading to Windows XP Home edition which I did. When I inserted the Plextor disc it installed automatically. When I attempt any functions such as going on the internet, using My Computer, or starting Microstudio the computer freezes with a not responding message for that function. I have to restart the computer each time I attempt any windows functions. I could not use the remove software function to remove the plexwriter software but was able to use DOS functions to delete everything in the Plextor folder except for Plextools.exe which gives access denied message. My daughter has vetoed my dropkick approach to the computer. Any suggestions about getting this up and running?
