Hi all,
I've long got their CD-ROM which perfectly worked with W98SE as my OS.
Being working now with XPPro, this CD-ROM is no more readable. Has anyone else experienced such trouble and is there any "medicine" to it ?
TIA

need a bit of info.. are you running a program that runs the cd.. if so maybe try it in win98 compatability mode..
click on the icon and look for the compatablity tab and change to run in win98 mode..
if you access the cd by clicking on the drive icon and cannot access it.. try using right click explore drive.. I've found winxp seems to have a problem when you change cd's in the drive...

In fact, the program runs from an autorun.exe and open a kind of html page.
In my case, the autorun launches correctly the page with the music playing but with a windows blank page saying cancelled action ... blablabla.
I tried your tip about the compatability but it did not succeed. Thank you however.
