Try the CD's on some other computers, and see if the problem is related to the CD's, or your specific computer. First time I tried burning ISO images to CD, I did it incorrectly, and got the same results you did. Using Nero, you must specifically select that you are burning an ISO image. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . http://robertwittig.net/ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.
