On insertion of Ritz pic CD multiple apps start then error out
The elderly user had several retail firms including Ritz, develop film and
create many picture CDs which are important to her. These firms include Ritz and Walgreens. On insertion of a Ritz CD multiple apps auto start (including Walgreens) then a program crash ensues. Windows 98 says the program(s?) must close. I removed the Walgreen app in Control PanelAdd/Remove and I think I restarted 98 but the Walgreen program continues to start, along with the Ritz program.when I insert a Ritz CD. We found closing error dialogues after the program(s?) crash permits the user to start one of the sub apps within the Ritz program they really use regularly to view and print from these Ritz disks. Thank you in advance for any suggestions about how we can clean start the one Ritz app from these disks which is the one she uses to print pictures. Another question is if there is a better program within 98 that she can use to view and then print her pictures. Additional notes: * I also removed a large Kodak app whcih appears as a resident in the lower right * A pic CD from a firm in India caused a blue screen error and the user agrees she does not need to put that in the CD drive again so it should not be a further problem. Suggestions?? Thanks |

Uninstal all unwanted apps (after rebooting to Safe Mode.) 2. Instal whatever Win98 picture viewer you prefer. The best is free from www.irfanview.com. 3. Set CD AutoInsert Notification OFF (done easiest via / Settings / Control Panel / Device Manager and select in turn each CD and / Properties.)

If the user prefers the Ritz app you should confirm it was written to run under Win98 (as well as XP) and then configure it from its own menus to start the way she wants it. But it is easiest to instal IrfanView, configure this to be the app for pictures (TIF, JPG and others) and either simplify its appearance in the Start Menu or put its icon on the Desktop for convenience.

Thank you Don. Your suggestions are correct I'm sure. Turning "Auto Insert
notification" OFF is an old fix I had forgotten about since the early days of cd buffer under runs etc. I'd install www.irfanview.com s program if I did'nt think she'd have a heart attack. Assume your fixes worked if you don't hear from me. These news groups are great. Thanks again.

2. Instal whatever Win98 picture viewer you prefer. The
best is free from www.irfanview.com. Although irfanview is great, it is only Second-best. Grab this proggy, compare for yourself. It is called ACDSee, and is available below. http://www.oldversion.com/ It is free, and the envy of many proggy writers. Both have similar qualities, but acdsee is not as clumsy as irf'. Your choice. |
