nobeefstu- At the risk of souding even more stupid, this is what I just did: I burned another CD. There were 2 files that I copied to the CD, copying to data: File name was autorun.inf I saved it in lower case this way, and saved it as the entire name with .inf in the name in the Notepad. This is what was in the file: [autorun] open=Project1.exe icon=Project1.exe It did not work Then I saved it the next time as : [autorun] open=Project1.exe Then I copied the file- the one with the rectangular logo. It is called Project1. It doesn't say exec anywhere on the file name. Is this a problem? I also burned one with the name Project1.exe. This one did not work either There were no folders, just copied the 2 files. I'm not sure what the Root means. After the CD was burned, I ejected the disk and then put it in again - the 2 files came up and I need to click on the Project1 or the Project1.exe with the rectangular logo Can you please help!!! I am lost here.
