heres something she can try. it says this is for xp, but it should work on 98 as well. go to >> http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and download "Restore CD/DVD Drives to Explorer" on line 31, right side. this is a .vbs file that will restore the drives to explorer if theyre lost. see if this will work to fix the problem.
Thank's for your help, The "WScript.Shell" Were would i save that to?, Or do i search the computer for that file, then modify any missing text in that file with the code.
sounds like you need the visual basic files. you can download them from here >> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...DD-CDF2D29A79D5 install those and then try it again
Thanks dg mortal, now downloading, and will give it a go.Quote:

Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.

but though what do i know :)
sorry for that :unsure: , but when the drive disappeared from my comp, it wasnt because it was disabled in the device manager. checked there and all was good. this cleared my problem up so i figured it work for this one as well. but i do feel kinda stupid now.....thanks guys :P (sarcasim)
When I reinstall, I always seem to lose my D drive.
I then install Norton Utillities, let it run Norton System Check, and it automatically finds my lost drive.
I don't have the slightest clue what it does :rolleyes: , but it does the trick.
Win98SE for me, by the way.
Thanks for all your help, I have now got a good ide'a how to tackle this problem as not come across this one yet, And you learn something new each day.
All best from Barry @ http://hometown.aol.co.uk/Pumpencum/...re_us_n00b.gif
P.S will give Norton utillities a go, Thanks.
