Well, my friend doesn't no that much so eventually I will just have him take out the D drive and just drive a nail through it. i will use just the C drive and save my presentations, pictures and files on a cd using my E drive via Roxio. Harry

Bill, I will bring all this to a friend at church and work on this mater. That test to see the health of the drives, where would I get this and what is the name. Harry

I know our forum is not a place for this problem but this might have happened to one of you guys. My windows 98 second edition has two HD "C and D" one night the D drive just went by by, gone just dissapeared along with the CD-ROM CD player. I had to use a paper clip to get the CD out. I use this web site called ( Annoyances.org ) I am getting some advice. I have gone to My computer, R clicked, properties and device manager and checked the CD-ROM and it shows a NEC NR-7800A player. I checked the disk drives and it shows: Generic ide disk type 47 Generic nec floppy disk No device problems listed. They said (annoyances) that if you D drive and CD rom are on the same controller channel (I am thinking how do I know this and what is a controller) and the CD rom has taken a dump, it could be effecting the D drive. All I know is that something has effected the D drive. So, any ideas? Do you think that if I opened the tower and umpluged the D rive and pluged it in again that might reset it? Or do I have to re-configure the D drive. There is no evidence that the D drive ever existed on the computer. Now this is interesting!! When I turn on the computer in the morning and the boot cycle begins I do not here that beep from the A drive even though the A drive works and I do eventually get a full boot up. Well that's it another continuing saga from Harry. Any ideas of course will be appreciated.

Thank You Ken, that is real nice of you and very thoughtful!! The song is really from a CD that our church produced locally and why they used wma instead of mp3 I don't know. Probably the CD people said people would have a hard time doing what I want to do? The title is "What Kind Of Man Is This" and you would not have it because it was only distributed locally in our area. But hey thanks anyway!! Perhaps other wma will not be that way. Harry

Ok, well, I downloaded the files needed to convert wma to mp3 and it says that the song.wma is write protected and I cannot convert it. Harry

I use also "dbpower amp music converter" and I have just one .wma music file and I would like to convert it to mp3. But when I go to the program to convert the wma it does not show up on the list. All the other mp3's etc. show up but not wma. what do you think is wrong? am I missing an additional program with dbpower amp that I need for wma files.\? Harry

Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I JUST DUMPED MY XAT.COM VIDEO CD PROGRAM DELETED IT FOR GOOD. TO MANY PROBLEM WITH THEM AND THEIR BETA VERSIONS. THEY HAVE BEEN BETA TESTING FOR MONTHS AND STILL CANNOT GET RID OF THE MANY ERRORS. I WOULD RATHER WAIT FOR IGOR TO PRODUCE HIS PROGRAM AND WOULD GLADLY PAY FOR IT. I FEEL BETTER ALREADY!! HARRY

Stu, I received the email and downloaded the information and I will work with this Monday back at work and thanks for all the help in sticking with this problem. Harry

[autorun] open=ShelExec filename.ext Stu, did as you typed and got message that: Windows cannot find ShelExec.exe I am going to let it rest for now but thanks for all the input. I will have a look at Granots site agin. Harry

Thank's Stu, I will try this out Monday. Harry

I understand what you are saying and so it may be that a lot of computers that the students are using out there in distant learning would have the same problem as I have. I also noticed that when it did not work I went the usualy way to view the class: my computer etc. and could not. so the students would have the same problem as I. I believe that we should just leave be as is and just view through my computer where there would be no problem. But thanks for your help Stu. I did solve the Roxio problem with the win95. After upgrading to win98se the computer accepted Roxio Platinum fine!! I do like Nero but Roxio has that Direct CD (drag and drop etc.) and with Nero that is a separate order I was told. I have been using Roxio on my home computer and have had no problems. Harry I

Well, again it didn't work and I tried very hard to make the right spaces where they should be. So, for now I decided not to enter this field as it seems to tricky for me. But thanks to all and I will work this perhaps at another time. Harry

I see the error of my way. Friday when I return to work I will make the changes. Hey, I just got an invite to go to Galveston, Texas to give a demonstration for Carnival Cruise Lines out this way. I wanted to see if on board the ship where they would sell film and process if I could have some cards available about my service. So, light a candle, or open a bottle of whatever and hope for the best. ! Harry

Granot your #19 for downloading autorun can not be found send to me please I will read all and take time to work it. Harry
