See, that's part of the problem: I was right-clicking on the iso icon, but there was no "write CD" option in the pop-up menu. At any rate, I used a combination of the tactics Robert and Pybe gave me and this time there were actual files rather than just the iso image all over again. So, thanks guys. And thanks to everyone else who volunteered info and help. I'm very grateful and mightily relieved. ===== --joshua m. neff www.goblin-cartoons.com _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
