Gee whiz! This message to me was ancient. I have inserted the cd into the
drive, but there is no message on the screen that tells me the drive has
read it. I also have several e-mails that force me to go to endtask in
order to read my correct e-mails.
I think I need a doctor! Thanks. mjt

I have at least one machine where the Microsoft Photo Editor comes up o=
n
the task bar, but never appears on the screen itself. On that machine, I=
routinely use IE to open .jpg and .gif files, especially if I want to mak=
e
one of them the desktop background. One *can* use a web browser to open =
local content of these types....
It seems to me that in her initial message, Marilyn said that her "D:" =
and
"E:" drives were not visible. Marilyn, I think we need to understand
whether this is a problem with your system recognizing that the CD is
present, or whether you need help understnading how to navigate to that =
drive to find the files. Can you describe in more detail what you are do=
ing
when these drives fail to appear?

taking off from the last paragraph...
Marilyn tellez,
I AM ASSUMING THAT YOUR CD ROM DRIVE IS IN WORKING ORDER (you are able to=
use
it for cds other than the one with which you are having trouble) and you =
have win xp...
(1) there are two types of cds. (a) auto run... which means a code is wri=
tten in the cd which makes it open itself when you insert in the drive (j=
ust after a few seconds) AND (b) cds created by people like us (hereagain=
it is possible to include the AUTO RUN CODE ourselves) which have to be =
opened by double click on the icon.
(2) win xp (at least the PRO version) has a feature by which.. the moment=
you insert you will find a "cd icon " attached to your mouse pointer.. a=
nd then a window "AUTO PLAY " reading the contents rapidly.... and then a=
nother window...
asking you... what do you want to do...
play with med.player,, print,, view slide show,, copy pictures, open in w=
indows explorer,, take no action.
in addition to all this there must be a LED light on your cdrom drive.
so just tell us what happens when you insert the troublesome cd. and sure=
ly the problem can be easily solved.
<<<< I went to my computer & tried to install it, but neither d or e driv=
es responds.>>>
sorry not clear on this. which is your cdrom drive d or e. when you say n=
othing responds does it mean that neither drive shows up when you double =
click " my computer icon" on the desk top???
let us know and good luck----Venkat
