If Philips CD-ROM's are problematic (which is what I have) and you are looking to purchase another more reliable CD-ROM (all of my applications are on CD's including all of my system software) which ones would you desire to have with which drives? I have a powerCenter 150 running 8.6 with CD-ROM Toolkit version 1.6.3P. Also what does it mean at start up when some of your extension icons cover up other extension icons?
