370204 2005-07-07 03:37:00 Hi folks. Have installled a program which must have overwritten a dll file. If I start Win2000 with a CD in the drive I can read it but when I change the CD it will not recognise it. Have no problems with Nero and burning CD's and Linux gives no trouble. Any help would be much appreciated. mikebartnz (21)
370205 2005-07-08 03:03:00 I've been playing around trying to make InCD work for me in W2000. I have uninstalled it a few times ... I eventually found that it requires you to use its toolbar icon to eject a CD it has been using. They "hope" to fix that to allow the drives's button or W2k to eject a disk.

It gives me an error message after I've changed CDs too ... I get the impression that the software isn't quite finished yet. :(

I tried Roxio (version 5) on another box ... its UDF system just locked up the OS. Apparaently there was a "compatibility patch" for W2k, but I couldn't find it on their site.

370206 2005-07-08 23:21:00 I've used InCD but probably a previous version to yours with no problem. My problem is with using the drive with the likes of the PCWorld CD. If the CD is in when I start Win2k no problem but it does not recognise a CD inserted while it is running. I like Linux more and more. mikebartnz (21)
370207 2005-12-11 01:53:00 Problem solved. I don't know why really. I don't have InCD starting with Windows and the other day cranked it up to use some CD-RW and since then all is working properly. mikebartnz (21)
370208 2005-12-11 02:15:00 Had trouble with InCD when I didn't think I would ever copy on the fly and put both burners on the same cable . . . both on CS . . . that was my mistake .

Seems the buffer rapidly overflowed and locked everything up . . . . maybe this'll help too . :confused:
