Is Rebel9 CD-ROM defective? Do my autoexec.bat and >config.sys files on my bootdisk cause any problem to Rebel9? There is nothing wrong with the cdrom. What happens is that you have loaded an EPD file from the Cdrom and try to analyse the EPD file with "Analyse Bookup File". This function will write the results to the same EPD file. Of course you can not write to a cdrom. That's why you got the crash. If you copy the EPD to your hard disk first you will notice everything will work just fine. - Ed Schroder - >Please check the following exact copies of my autoexec.bat and >config.sys files on my bootdisk below. >C:\>type a:\autoexec.bat >@ECHO OFF >PATH C:\;C:\DOS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND >PROMPT $p$g >SET TEMP=C:\DOS\TEMP (Is this line necessary?) >C:\syntouch\syntouch (This applies to touchpad of my notebook only) >SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 >SMARTDRV >C:\>type a:\config.sys >DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS >DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS (Is the line necessary?) >FILES=30 (Is 30 too much?) >BUFFERS=13 (Is it necessary?
