Hello, everyone. I am using a Magnavox CDD-461 external CD-ROM drive with a 386SX/16 MS-DOS machine running DOS 5.0 with about 606K available memory after DOS. When I load Magazine Rack from Information Access Company, I often get the error message "Packed file is corruptD," or often my machine simply hangs. Perhaps once out of every five times, the program loads successfully. I have tried loading MAGRACK from the CD-ROM drive and from my hard drive, both with the same dissatisfying results. Using the DOS command LOADFIX also does not alter the situation. I suspect a defective disk, but does anyone have any other ideas as to what may be going wrong? Unfortunately, Information Access has discontinued the product and is no longer offering support. Thanks for any and all help. Craig Werner
