25 Apr 02 - 05:11 PM (#698601) Subject: RE: Help: cd player From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) I get the BBC magazine with their excellent cd each month. Combined on on the disc is a cd-Rom discussing the music. I couldn't get it to work in the cd and cd-r drives I have. After a session with a Dell technician, he found that it wouldn't work with the Gatesware they factory install. I understand that the problem has been corrected in later machines off the assembly line or that the cds have been revised, but I haven't tried again. Kendall, I can't help, but I had the thought that it erases the second time through if it doesn't like the music. (he! he! he!) |

25 Apr 02 - 05:16 PM (#698606) Subject: RE: Help: cd player From: Amos Concur with rebooting as first try -- drivers which runthese machines are often tempermental especially on mass-produced Wintel machines, in y experience. If the reboot fails, you probably want to reinstall the driver if you have the software for doing so. Otherwise it's expert debugging time, or a long boring wait on tech support. A |

This saves the bother of re-installing software. Recently lost all sound from my PC - Investigation indicated 'No Sound Card'... apparently my blundering fingers inadvertently removed the operation... Using the Windows XP Corrective Walk-through (blessedly simple process) I reset to a week earlier and 'All things became as they were'... a virtual Time Machine... and I didn't lose any files that were added during the period between the reset date and the present... most cool. Good luck - M. |
