Hello Neil,
I had already tried cleaning the CD-ROM drive in the hopes that it
was simply something with the lens. That seemed to have no effect.
So, you have changed the CD producers. That seems to me to be the
most likely reason to me that the CD-ROM from issue 10 would work,
but not that from issue 12.
Ok, I will have to try and see if I am able to read another CD
that he burned, and then ask him to burn a copy of the CD from
issue 12. Thanks for the advice. Any more that you can offer -
short of getting a new CD-ROM drive - would be appreciated. Thanks
for the help thus far.
Sincerely,
-Bill Schuck
