Jack, I came up with a temporary fix that you might try until this problem with Win 95 and the PAR is solved. The following is a copy of the thread "PAR + Win 95 Working" that I started a short while ago. ******************* To all, I'm not sure how many PAR users will benefit from this information, but I'll post it anyway. Like many of you, I installed Win ' 95 only to find that I couldn't use it with with the PAR drive and PARVCR.EXE. Well , there is way. I found that if you edit the PARVCR.INI file located in the Windows directory and manually write in the files you want to use under the [Recent File List] section, you can then open PARVCR while in Windows 95 and click on the files directly (dont use 'Open'). For example, my PARVCR.INI file looks like this. [Last Window Pos] Left=167 Top=274 Width=320 [Preferences] Rec Frames=300 Rec Prj=D:\DPS_PAR\REC_AD.PRJ Rec Ani=G:\REC_AB.ANI Rec Wav=D:\DPS_PAR\REC_AD.WAV Rec Name=recd_AAB [Recent File List] File1=G:\FIRST\PROJECT1.ANI File1=G:\FIRST\PROJECT2.ANI When I run PARVCR.EXE and click on 'File', I can click on either 'project1.ani' or 'project2.ani'. If you don't see the section [Recent File List], simply add it in. I have only tried this on one single computer, but I would be interested to know if this works for anyone else or if there is a better way. Let me know. Also, I don't have Razor Pro yet, but maybe a similar solution could be implemented using this technique as well. Thanks Don ( And I thought computers were going to make things easier ) *******************
