Hi David I'm having a frustrating problem. I'm running Windows 95 ( And NT ) In NT ( Using NT136 drivers) all is well. But in Win95 ( using ver. 123) I have a problem seeing the PAR disk. (But when I start the PAR program using DOS (( PAR ver 1.51)) it starts up and runs fine) The Problem is in Windows95. File Manager ( and all of the programs) list the PAR disk ( disk "F" ) as a choice. But when I try to read the disk in file manager, it shows the files and directories that are on disk "E". When I try to run PAR VCR (or any other of the PARw123) programs, it says that "Drive F is not available". I get the same "…not available" message when I try to read a PAR file from RAZOR PRO or Premiere 4.0, and I've tried other File Man. programs ( Central Point, Norton Navigator for 95, etc. and they all show the file information about drive "E" for both the real drive "E" and the PAR Drive "F" ( it dos, however, show the proper drive Volume label for Drive "F" ( DPS_PAR ) What can I do to make my system see my PAR drive under Windows95 ( Everything works fine under DOS and NT) Thanks in advance David Camp

David, I came up with a temporary fix to this problem. It makes the PAR drive and it's files available under Win 95. Chech out the thread titled " PAR + Win 95 working !!! ". It isn't pretty but it works on my machine. Hope this helps. Don
