Hi Regina

You've probably tried this already, but just in case you
haven't...

After ejecting the first CD-Rom and putting in the second
one, open My Computer and double click the CDROM drive letter.

Left click on View (in the menu bar at the top of the window
for the CD-Rom) and then Refresh (the last choice in the drop
down menu). The window *should* change to show the contents
of the new disk. Maybe doing this will flush the cached
directory information that programs make use of.

Regards,
Bill
