I guess it's possible the I don't _think_ it had such an option - it's a CD-writer prog., really. product is looking for something to burn to, since it has trouble finding the CD. But I really have nothing left to recommend. Maybe post the machine's Config.sys & Autoexec.bat from "START, Run, SysEdit" to see whether any shenanigan is going on their that could cause a confusion between the floppy & CD-ROM. I'm half-way through transferring the user to another PC ATM ... (-: All right. Chances are the solution wasn't there, anyhow. [] That may be best, if there are a lot of intermittent problems that a fresh install hasn't cured. You could test the hard drive with its manufacturer's utility first, if you suspect that. Get it from the WEB site. To test RAM... http://www.simmtester.com/PAGE/products/doc/docinfo.asp RAM tester http://www.memtest86.com/ RAM tester http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp RAM tester Thanks, I knew about simmtester and memtest86 at least, not sure about the last one. But probably not going to bother - as I said, this PC had been a little grumpy for some years, and I'm part way through transferring to another machine anyway. OK. Maybe that's best. Keep us informed. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, Should things get worse after this, PCR |
