When I load the Rebel 11 CD the auto install process for Rebel Tiger II is invoked. I cancel this. From explorer I can then browse the CD. Any dos prompt (even one that defaults to my C drive) is non-responsive. One other bit of information is that I have Powertoys Doshere loaded. This allows one to right click from explorer in any directory and start a dos prompt in that directory. Maybe there is a conflict. I took out my network PCMCIA card to no avail. For whatever reason I believe the Tiger II install program causes a problem with my dos prompt. This is very weird as I had no problems loading Tiger II. How do I get windows not to autoload windows install programs when you pop in the CD? This appears to me to be a reasonable next step in my test. If that does not work I will de-install doshere. Bob
