>Hello gang,
>I know this isn't a VFP problem but, I'm sure I saw a thread containing some reference to Win2K and CD Rom drives recently but I can't find it, I've just installed Win2K and now my CD writer ( Ricoh MP704A CDRW ) will not work anymore, it's listed ok in device manager and I can acccess it through explorer, before I reinstall Win95 I thought it would be worth a shot on here, any ideas? ( I'm using Ahead's Nero Burning Rom software - tried them - no reply )

The problem is your burner software. Win2K changed a bunch low level hardware access functions, so your old software won't work.
Easy CD 4.0 supposedly works with Win2K, and Rick Strah; has referenced Adaptect documents that detail getting earlier versions to work, but I haven't found them.
You need toresolve this with Ahead, or suck up and buy some new software.
