Dear Mr. Schroder,
My cdrom is labelled G. When I run the fix program it asks for the drive
and when I type G it asks me to insert the original Rebel disk into the drive.
It refuses to recognize the Rebel disk I bought, asking me instead for the
original rebel disk. It tells me the disk is not the original rebel disk and
refuses to run.
When I try to install from DOS I get a message that no such file exists and
also an indication that the G drive is not being accessed. I am sorry to be
such a pest, (I am not terribly computer literate) but I am finding it
frustrating not being able to install this program that I have read so many
wonderful things about. Thanks for your patience and advice.
