13715	2001-06-06 09:59:00	I just got the June PC World and wanted to install the Delphi 5 included on the disk. I was dissapointed when I inserted the disk, Windows crashed. The busy light was on on the CD Drive, you could hear the Cd speeding up then slowing down inside. I then restarted the computer, took out the CD, inserted it again, only this time holding down Shift, and then went through My Computer, and Opened it. I could view the contents of the root directory (M:\), yet opening any of the files or folders once again caused the unusual behaviour. I have looked underneth the disk to see if there was anything in the way, cleaned it, but it still won't work. What can I do to solve this annoying problem?	Guest (0)

13721	2001-06-06 22:24:00	I get the same problem also - my computer crashed when i opened explorer to read contents of drive.	Guest (0)

Anybody who wants to trade their disk for a fresh one should email paul_tolungamaka.co.nz in our circulation department or dial 0800 IDG HELP. Chris Keall Editor NZ PC World	Guest (0)
