I know they fixed it just after I wrote the message to you....I am happily
(very very) accessing my cdrom/burner now too. Took me over a month to get

glad I could be of help on a very frusterating problem....

Jim,
I went to the link you gave me even though you said it was broken. Guess

access cd's on my cd writer via the desktop link. Many thanks for the info!
