Title: Re: Cootie needs an exorcism Post by TomM on Aug 27th, 2003, 2:27pm "My suggestion to you is to start drinking heavily." My favorite line from Animal House. What about reloading Windoze? Do you CD's for that. I dispise WinME... You could purchase WinXP and have some place like CompUSA instal the new OS. It's only money. You don't need a new machine you need to re-load software. Tom--who is trying to heppp da Coots. |

Title: Re: Cootie needs an exorcism Post by TomM on Aug 27th, 2003, 2:39pm Lee- What's wrong with a manual re-load of the drivers? Or using a generic CD ROM driver to get her going? Then use the burner specific driver. TomM |

Title: Re: Cootie needs an exorcism Post by badfly on Aug 27th, 2003, 6:54pm Dear Coots I havnt seen your confuser, so I cannot be absolutly sure, but it sounds like your CD Drive is fried. I think the simplest and cheapest thing to do would be to replace it. Mind ya dont go buy one on my say so, cos like I said I cant be sure. If ya have freinds in the know or can borrow one, replace it and see if that helps. Changing the CD Drive is a pretty simple matter of pulling out 3 cables, unscrewing the screws that hold the drive in place and removing it. Put the replacement CD Drive in its place, screw in the screws and plug in the 3 cables. NB: Switch the PC off first. Also note carefully the orientation of your cables. The IDE cable (flat one with 16 little cables inside) has a red marking on one side, and the power cable has a red cable on one side. In 99.9% of CD DRives, these two reds go side by side. PS: ME is the Mother of all F#ckups. I would recomend ditching it at some time in the futre for the more stable 98SE. |

Title: Re: Cootie needs an exorcism Post by Opus on Aug 27th, 2003, 7:16pm Ya, I think coots has got a bad burner, same thing happened to me, I emailed her to see if she can pull the cables herself. Badfly, check out this site for a program that replaces 98 and me's bad shell with a better one. I have done this until I can get a real OS, Linux, http://www.litepc.com/ |

I hope that cd rom don't pop open tanight real late and sker me off my chair like last nite. I'll sugically remove it the hard way by cd rom castration. Pam that is tryin to think this all may work out minus one cd rom thanks agin fer all yer help.....hopein I can disable a cable myself |
