Hansoo,
Glad to help out! As for the 32-bit file access I use SCSI and it is not
supported, but if you are using some of the newer drives 10 millisecond access
or less you probably won't notice much difference. The 32-bit file access
creates a 32-bit cache on your for file management on your hard disk while
working in Windows. Disk caching is great but if you are hitting your hard disk
often you are probably running low on ram. Adding ram would be much more
productive than disk cashing.

P.S.
I noticed your message about Razor Pro. There is currently a few bugs in the
MCI driver and I was told that there was going to be a patch comming up real
soon. There is a way to play the PAR files now but there is a problem while
using the MCI and the PAR. READ this REAL CAREFULLY!!!! Make sure the PAR drive
is in ANI format (i.e. pardrv /p). Load Media Player from Windows, under the
devices menu select DPS Player and then load a ANI file from the PAR drive,
next select the devices menu again and at the bottom you will be able to select
configure at this time you will be able to attach sound files ala you now have
sound with the PAR. Now HERE COMES THE DANGEROUS PART!!! After selecting the
play button DO NOT use any options with the player except to STOP the animation
and before you load or exit the player MAKE SURE YOU choose " FILE,CLOSE "
before doing anything!!! If you don't follow these instructions YOU WILL CRASH
YOUR PAR DRIVE!! If you have any questions please call IN:SYNC or E-MAIL me.
Good Luck!
