Those are not drivers. Those are applications for using the CD-RW function.

Go to Start, hit Run, type "sysedit" (w/o the quotes) and hit OK. You'll have some various system files pop up. If you see a line in autoexec.bat that has "MSCDEX /D:(SOMETHING)", jot down what (SOMETHING) is and delete that line. Now look in config.sys for a line containing "LOAD=______.sys /D (SOMETHING)", which will match what you saw next to MSCDEX. If you find anything, delete it. Save your changes, exit, reboot and see if it works. Be careful though, messing up these files can cause a lot of problems. Last edited by rearden; 09/12/05 06:39 AM. '99 Contour Sport V6 MTX

Those are applications for using the CD-RW function. the cds i have for the computer, from HP, one is the reboot/operating software, the second is a driver and diagnostic cd. all the drivers for the computer are on the second cd.
