Hi Glenn, I tried that rename of cdrom.ikn fix for the 'your computer' hang problem with no luck. (I get exactly the same hang when I hit the "\\" button in 'all files'). But riddle me this: I can access every drive on my computer by typing the drive letter by hand up in the what-ever-you- call-it bar up at the top of the screen. If I do load my CD drivers, I can likewise access these individually no problem by typing in their drive letters. Arachne clearly can access CD's under DOS, but only one at a time, it seems.
Also, there is something else that's funny: My real drive letters end at I:, and my subst'ed drives start at R:; all the subst'ed drives are accessed no problem, but if I type in any drive letter between J: and Q: (these letters are NOT in use remember), I get a phoney report--there is no volume label shown, but there is a 'free space' figure shown which is unlike that of any of my real drives. The problems are identical under either command.com or 4dos.com, but they disappear if I run Arachne under Win98 -- CD's are assessed just fine, and 'your computer' dosen't hang. But this is strange: After I quit windows back to dos (I know how to do this using the 'mark' & 'release' commands), 'your computer' will not hang the machine, and if I do try to access the CD's (there is NO DRIVER LOADED remember) Arachne treats them the same as the phantom drives mentioned above (no volume label, but a phoney 'free space' number. If I do load my CD drivers, then start win98, then quit win98, *everything* is fine: 'your computer' dosen't hang, and I can assess my CD's with no problem (using the DOS drivers, it seems). So it seems that starting then quitting win98 does something magical that makes the DOS CD drivers work ok. I get the feeling that this should be fixable. Can you make anything of it?
