Re: windows drive letter mapping - CAE

Martin,

What you're talking about sounds like the drive letter assignment screen for
CD-ROM devices, under System/Device Manager/pick a CD-ROM device and go to
Settings.  I think that's ONLY for the CD, not for drive mappings.  The only
way that that might have a bearing is if the CD is already assigned as P:.
Chances are Carl has already looked for that.


I've looked around in System and under Network settings on this Win98SE
machine and can't find anything restricting drive mapping letters.  I'd
suspect something unusual in Carl's registry somewhere, but I don't know how
to look for it.  Carl, you could always follow MS debugging procedures and
re-install the OS. <G, D, & R>
