Paul, >> we pride ourselves on is the stability of CDPlayer I wan not IN ANY WAY degrading the ability od CD Player. This is as much for you as for anyone reading this thread, I have a unique set-up, especially related to these CD Audio programs, and I do not really have the tools and knowledge to diagnose, or help diagnose, them. >> What happens if you switch to drive Y and then try to do a >> directory of X using file manager or from DOS? I have, in general, no other real problem switching drives. Specifically, if i understand your question, it is not a problem. When i was playing about, if he Audio CD was playing, an attempt to switch drives in File Manager caused an error ("Unable to switch to drive n:", not System Modal). It was when the disk was stopped, i did not try paused. It did not occur to me at the time, but i do have share loaded. It ia hard for me to decide what to do about share. I have Visual C++, which wants it loaded, but i also run the "SmartCan" in Norton Desktop, which doesn't want it loaded. The thing is when i do get a share biolation I go down quicker than i can say "Oops!". Using the "Play drive X:" command may help. Yours will be the first shareware product i've seen with this capability (I don't know what's out there commercially! Apparently, MSCDEX is customizable by the drive manufacturers, and people have suggested that I may not have the correct MSCDEX for my driver, or that i have an old version of my driver. As far as I know this is not the case. Thing is, I haven't been able to justify the time to track it sown, because I knoe the types of things that will cause my system to "say Good Night, Gracie". Maybe I'll call someone at Pioneer again, but they don't really publish a tech support number.

Don't take me wrong, I was not put out by your comments. I am not sure that share would cause the sort of problem you have encountered, but if you say it causes other programs top bomb out there could be something going on in the background. If you glean any more info please let me know. Paul

Paul, Button Labels indicate i can use Alt+P for Play, etc. You do not seem to have set up these hot keys. Suggest you put your CIS id or a Jupiter contact CIS id in About box.

It is not Alt P but simply P. This will play provided none of the buttons have focus. I will add the CIS ID to the about box and also look at setting the letters up as hot keys as well as straight key presses. Paul
