cdrom not reading files "sees" all files as music

[Guest tim78412]

I do volunteer work repairing computers for the disablied. I had an old copy

of ME. For several years I used it so I decided to upgrade a computer using

win98 to ME. All went find except for 2 problems. The major one is it will no

longer read the files system on cd-rw. It sees all files as music. This was

not a problem for this machine in win98. How do I work around this problem?

 

Another smaller problem is that the machine no longer shuts down completely

by itself. A message comes on screen saying it is safe to turn off the

computer. I am guessing this has to do with adci (not sure if those are the

right letters I think it is aa power management issue). How do I get it to

shut down?

Regarding the first problem, you may have to re-install any CD writing

software utility (Adaptec, Nero, etc.) especially if the cd-rw discs were

written using packet writing software.
