I've seen several OEMs like Dell report on their web sites that two CD-RW
configurations are not supported.  I have multiple machines with a DVD-ROM
and CD-RW that work fine.  I just tried one.<

It works every other way. (and it's a DVD/CDRW and a plain CDRW, and it's
an IBM Netvista.)

Okay, one down partially at least -- turning off autorun stops the CD names
from updating in explorer on a virgin, nothing extra installed PC.  But
that is not the only thing that stops it unfortunately, on a PC with 2 CDRW
drives, it still doesn't update the CD names even with autorun turned on
and functioning. I suspect another autorun type setting somewhere...

   Something very strange is going on if you delete the file from Explorer
and it doesn't disappear.  Try Shift+Del or Shift+Click on Delete menu item
if you aren't doing so already.  With shift the files are deleted instead
of moved to the recycle bin.

Pretty sure, but I can see tomorrow.  I have to have a lot of drives mapped
usually for it to happen.

My usual way is left click, del key. (or cursor keys to select and del key.)

   If you don't see it all the time, are you sure you see it when the server
is Windows 2000 and not just snap or AS/400?  Still, there is something
different about your computers that you see this "a LOT".  I am
curious, how are you deleting the files and folders when these operations
aren't triggering refreshes?

  System(s).

  >There has to be some reason why you claim you see this all the time and
  everyone else does not.

  No, I didn't say I see it all the time, just a LOT.  I don't know what
  causes it.

  >I'd not be surprised if the snap or AS/400 have problems.  Windows 2000
  sends notifications fine.

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

  >   You have no CD-ROM software?

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

  >These are CD-ROMs or CD-R/W?>

  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
icon
  that asks you what to do when you put in a blank CD) or the direct cd type
  stuff.

  >For that matter, are you using inbox or non-inbox drivers

  In box on all but one PC. (newer video card than what's in the box on my
  main PC at home.)  Supposedly certified though.

  >Again, there must be some reason why you claim to never see title changes
  while everyone else does not.

  If I knew I'd tell you why. (and I doubt EVERYONE sees title changes, I
  don't have that strange a config.)

  I'd not be surprised if the snap or AS/400 have problems.  Windows 2000
  sends notifications fine.

     You have no CD-ROM software?  These are CD-ROMs or CD-R/W?>  If the
  latter, don't you have software to burn CDs?  For that matter, are you
using
  inbox or non-inbox drivers?  If the latter, are they WHQL certified?
Again,
  there must be some reason why you claim to never see title changes while
  everyone else does not.

Yours
    does not sound like a video problem.<

    That's kind of part of the symptom I'm seeing, except you get an error
if
    you double click on them. (file not found)

    >   Network drive issues could be a problem or limitation with the file
    server to which you are connecting.  The server needs to send change
    notifications requested by the client.  What kind of server is it to

    Windows 200 Server, Snap server, and our AS/400, they all do it.

    Do you have some CD-ROM related software which you have installed on all
  of
    your PCs.<

    Nope, but like I said, I have autorun disabled.

      If it were a video driver problem i would expect artifacts if it were
  n't
      refreshing the screen properly.

      >The symptoms described were that the icon images were visible but

      That's not what i was describing -- you can move these icons that you
  just
      deleted, you can try to delete them again 9and you get a file not
found
      error)  and as for the network drives that exhibit the same behavior,
  they
      just don't show up, and you know their connected because of a command
  line
      net use shows them.  As for the cdrom's never changing the disk name
  when
      you change the CD, you tell me. (probably something to do with autorun
  not
      turned on, but it should update when accessing the CD.)

      And also, this beahovior is exactly the same on all my PC's regardless
  of
      video.

         Why should there be artifacts?  The symptoms described were that
the
    icon
      images were visible but clicking on them had no effect.  That is an
      indication that there is no icon there.  There are ways to distinguish
  by
      opening another window and dragging it across the front of the one
with
      phantom icons or minimizing then maximizing.

      It's not a repaint problem as there are no artifacts, it's an update
    problem
      in explorer.

         What people are describing doesn't sound like a caching issue.  It
    sounds
      like a display driver problem with blts that manifests as repaint
    problems.
