[snip] i do not have a 755CD, and do not if this is the problem or not, BUT i recall reading yesterday in the current PC Magazine that Microsoft Window 95 has a BUG in the ATAPI driver which made it all the way to the final release version! the article said that on new win95 CD-ROMS/floppies being stamped now have the bug fixed, but that folks who purchased win95 in the first couple weeks may have the buggy ATAPI. the article said to contact microsoft for a free ATAPI patch. (this was mentioned in the article on a review of win95 backup tape drives/software) hope this helps, Todd --------- Todd Tannenbaum CAE Model Advanced Facility email: tannenba@engr.wisc.edu ph: 608-262-3118
