Guest Luke Skywalker Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 I need help on this: When I acces files with long names to my CD-ROM it en with a ~ and a number so it can´t read long names anymore, anyone can help me?, I try to install a controler but the problem is that I don´t know what is the IRQ of the CD-ROM now, you know any utility that check the IRQ of the hard, if that is the problem of course. ------------------ "We did it!!!" >May the force be with you< Luke Skywalker, 38th Kokou Sentai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Zaarin Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 Same kind of thing happened with the CD drive on my old comp, reverting to DOS naming. Eventually the OS wouldn't recognise it at all. Still no idea what caused it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rogue 9 Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 Delete it out of the System Properties and Restart, make sure you have the Cab files copied to the HD first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Luke Skywalker Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 That´s the problem Rogue 9, it is not here, I had to load a driver in DOS mode (by config.sys and autoexec.bat) in order that windows recognize that are a CD-ROM drive here . ------------------ "We did it!!!" >May the force be with you< Luke Skywalker, 38th Kokou Sentai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rogue 9 Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 try leaving the driver in the config.sys but removing it from the autoexec.bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rogue 9 Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 also what version of windows are you running and what are your hardware specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rogue 9 Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 Try Restart into Safe Mode and then going into The system properties, it should then list all hardware that has been installed in the system instead of just "active" hardware. delete the CD-Rom drive and restart into normal mode if it works properly it will reinstall the CD-Rom and everyone is happy...

Guest Luke Skywalker Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 If I remove the lines in config.sys and in autoexec.bat when windows load the CD is missing!. I have Windows 95 Try Restart into Safe Mode and then going into The system properties, it should then list all hardware that has been installed in the system instead of just "active" hardware. delete the CD-Rom drive and restart into normal mode if it works properly it will reinstall the CD-Rom and everyone is happy... First no controler here, because when I add it and then restart the computer, when I go here again it apear with a yellow "!" and if I check propierty it apear "device missing, don´t respond or not all the controler are installed" I think that I need an utility who check all hardware entries and IRQ in DOS mode, so when I install a controler I can manually modific the "phantom" CD drive parameters. ------------------ "We did it!!!" >May the force be with you< Luke Skywalker, 38th Kokou Sentai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
