Problem with Super CD

Darkfold · 06-26-07, 11:33 PM

I have two copies of the Super CD. They worked, with some difficulty, on my eight-year-old HP running Win98SE, but I still managed to get the files off them.

Now I have a new Acer laptop with Vista, and Explorer says there are no files in the Pacific Aces and several other folders. No files appear in the window and Explorer says the folder is empty.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Hmmm, I have not come across that before. I will load one on my daughter's laptop, it has Vista, and see what happens. I did a Google search for "Vista not reading CD" and came across quite a few instances of this.

Duh. Look it up online. One of those blazingly obvious things you see after it's pointed out to you. Thanks, Onkle Neal.

Lol, no problem

Onkle Neal, any news on this?

Hi Darkfold, I have not had anyone else have this problem. Maybe it's because Vista is still new. I put a copy of the Super CD in my daughter's laptop with Vista, and it seems to work the same for me as Win XP. I can browse the CD files via My Computer, and move them to the hard drive.
