Hi Greg G No only when your computer crashes or when you boot up VPC5 and the cd or floppy don't show up. I've tried tons of different things and that's the only way I could beat the problem. It's very annoying but at least it works. If this doesn't work let me know exactly what your doing and maybe I could help. It should work. If it doesn't work try the process over again. Sometimes it doesn't work the 1st time for me either. 99% of the time it does work. Let me know. By the way i've only been able to get this to work with a 8.5 system disc. I've tried 9.0 and it didn't work.
Hope this helps Scott In a message dated 3/11/03 8:09:12 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << Hi Scott, Will give it a try but it seems a very unusual approach. Does this have to be done everytime you want to start VPC 5? Or just the first time?
