Ping: Noel - CDRTC.DLL

Shane, I've just posted a 'similar' response on Harry's 'new' thread g

Mart

I guess I'll have to read it's inspiration or see the film sometime!

I bet the Teletubbies are involved somehow. Am I right?

Harry,

It's notable that you say you *seem* to recall your drive as listed
as R/W and now it's just W. Well, given that the model is a W,
perhaps you're just remembering seeing R/W elsewhere? Is TEAC
CD-W58E what you mean? Because that is the model name. Not TEAC
CD-R/W58E. Even if it is an R/W drive. Shane

Shane:

Misunderstood you totally, thanks to Mart it's been cleared up.How about
closing this thread for good and switching to the latest.
I executed your suggested action, but "no joy".

Harry.

Harry, I thought you'd said you have *an* 100MB Iomega Zip drive. You
certainly have an Iomega Zip drive driver (iomega.vxd). And - going on the

behind,

Okay, Harry. What kind of Win ME cd do you have? Who supplies it? If it's
an
OEM disc it could potentially cause problems if you accidentally initiate
something. The World Atlas is probably okay but it is good to have an
alternative (other than an OEM Win ME cd) and one from a computer magazine
is useful in that it's probably in good condition. But this is a start.

Please forgive me for the oversight.


Okay, Harry. So tell us, where did you see the drive listed as a 'R/W' but
now only as a 'W'? And do confirm whether you do or do not have a 100MB
Iomega Zip drive connected.

Shane

Harry,

I'm hardly going to be here from now on.

I just want to make the point that I didn't particularly expect any "joy".
The point is that these things have to be eliminated from consideration. We
have to arrive at the starting point before we can begin.
