Re: cannot copy to a cd

Is this because of what happened and the way I had to boot up again?? It

changed things?

You cannot simply "send" data to your CD

you must use your CD burning software!!!!

Re: cannot copy to a cd

Yes, it's probably because of the crash. Hard to say how much damage

occurred and you're likely to encounter weird things like this.

I suspect it would be good to try a backup Registry. Have you practiced at

all with Ctrl, F8 or F5 keys again since we fixed it well enough to boot?

Try repeatedly tapping the Ctrl or F8 (we don't want F5) and seeing if you

can get the Startup Menu?

Re: cannot copy to a cd

Yes, idiot, but there are CD-writing software that set up direct-writing

(packet-writing) ability (InCD, RecordNow), and they add that SendTo link.

If the software has never been installed, that link doesn't exist in Win9x.

That Lutra says it exists and doesn't work suggests to me that the

installation got messed up and needs reinstalling. Of course, packet-writing

software is such a PITA, I would never install it in the first place.

Same here. No packet writing software allowed on this machine (or the

I've seen strange problems with PM8 (and earlier versions). See this

current thread at comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage.

Otherwise you might like to search for "Partition Magic" and "damage".

Re: cannot copy to a cd

OH MYYYYYY......didn't want to start a ruckus. Thanks Gary. I am up and

running now with the CD software and have successfully copied all I needed to

get off of my old dinosaur. So far I haven't encountered any other oddballs

things. But I will do a backup registry....and test those things out. I am

getting a NEW COMPUTER..........like I said this dinosaur is just about

empty. And I am so grateful for the assistance I have received here!!!!!!!

What I was suggesting was to RESTORE a Registry backup, but if this machine

Whiner! Go ahead and whine all you want to MS, I couldn't care less.

Ok agreed.

I suggest we call a truce...this is making *both* of us look like idiots.

Though I usually try to reply coherently I will admit to an occasional

blunder or two. Probably even more than two. <G>

Had you either ignored the remark I made that you decided was "stupid" or

merely pointed out a correction...

that would have been one thing. But to rave and spout irrationally is a

worse blunder than any "dumb" reply I might have made.

When one resorts to cursing one has lost the debate.

If you like to rave and swear on Usenet, I guess that's up to you...

but you should probably drop the "MVP" from your signature when you do so.

Not only does that reflect badly upon you...It reflects even worse on your

colleagues who have bestowed that award.

Now that I've got that off my chest. I think you may need to recall that

when you wrote your Time Zone edit patch

and needed someone to test it on some obsolete NT systems...I stepped to the

plate and did the testing for you.

I don't recall what the outcome was, it was a while back.

Finally. I am not an experienced programmer like you seem to be so if my

knowledge at times seems inadequate

you need to realize that I am nothing but an experimentor who likes to "fool

around" with computers. I've picked up

a lot of knowledge simply by trial and error. FWIW: The last time a wrote a

program was back in 1982. I was moving

away from computers just about the time the entire world seemed to moving

toward them.
