Gary, this is an easy one. The problem is with NDW, and Norton is well aware of it and will fix it in the next version. For now there is nothing you can do about it. Just click on 'CANCEL' when you get the error message and windows will load normally. Of course if there is already a CD in the drive you will not get the error message. I got this information from the Norton forum here on Compuserve. —-Dwight

Thanks for the info. However, there is always a CD in the drive, and I still get the error message.

Jumping in here – but I've done a bit of problem solving with our cd server and netware and windows. Do you want to tell me the problem? Danny.

Danny, I was responding to Gary's problem with Norton Desktop. If you load Norton Desktop as your Windows shell, you get an error message, "error, cannot read from drive D." This only happened to me if there was no CD in the drive. Norton seems to see the CDROM drive as a Network drive and thus gives the error message. Norton says that they will have a fix in the next version. Gary now indicates that he even gets the message when there is a CD in the drive. I don't have a clue, do you? -Dwight
