I created a cd for my customers to install my program. Some of the customers are calling back saying that their cd-rom is recognizing the cd has an Audio Cd. Other customers are not having this problem. I don't understand why this would happen. The cd's are ritec 16x. I have used this media without this problem in the past. The duplicators are Primera Composers. Has anyone had this problem? How do you correct it? Thanks

Greetings,

I've seen this before, especially on Win95 machines, when CD Player program was running in the background (even though there was not an audio CD in the drive).

Make sure CD Player is not running.

If it still persists, perhaps the CD Player program is being loaded in the start menu.

Good luck,

Maxwell

Where I work we burn our own CDRs to distribute the our custom program and the same thing happens, What you want to do is make sure that you burn at 1X and use the iso standard, if that don't work then you need to use a burner program like Nero thatcan burn as RAW data....

and yes it appears to be old computers that don't have cd roms that can read the CDR specification and also i have seen this with the cheap 2x, 3x, 8x ones also that compaq and dell use to use, and they are on current computers!
