No, explorer will display there is a cd present; however it indicates there
is 0 data available.

Problem resolved. The original equipment manufacturer's installed management
system was not compatible with Vista. An upgrade was required.

Thanks

I purchased my HP with Vista home installed on it. It was an out of the
box sale and so the company that sold it to me was listed as the
administrator. Fry's that sold me the computer took off thier password
and I put on mine. However, everywhere I go I find references to Fry's
as the administrator. In fact, I don't think I am the ultimate
administrator even yet. How do I remove the name "Frysadminist" from all
the accounts they control?

I was not able to use screen print at all. According to the information
I have, I press screen print key above the backspace key on the HP
Pavilion dv 9930 us Notebook PC. Then I paste (cntl V) to either Word or
Paint or other programs. It does not work. If I try Alt screenpriint it
also fails to work.

I am beginning to think there is another malfunction caused by my not
being the administrator.

Please anyone, Help

Thank you
