   What autorun setting are you changing?

I've seen several OEMs like Dell report on their web sites that two = CD-RW

        I don't have a problem on Win9x machines this way, it sends the

        Some of the PC's yes, some no, and not the same version on any.

        Both, but mostly CDRW. Even have a DVD and a DVDRW.

        >If the latter, don't you have software to burn CDs?

        On the ones with rw, yes, but none of them have that active crud =
(tray
