My CD-RW (Drive E) autoplays all types of disks/files perfectly, but I am
unable to explore disk contents from my desktop by any means. From a second
computer networked with mine the drive can be explored just fine. I have
examined all of the drive parameters that I know how to see, and find nothing
wrong. The second optical drive on my system, a 56x CD-ROM (Drive F), can be
explored fine as well.

Anyone who's seen this one before, please let me in on the secret. Thanks.

Hi,

What kind of error do you get when you right click on the drive and select 'explore' ?

Does the highlight bounce away from the drive when
you release the mouse button?
