Subject:	SCOUG-Help: installing rsj

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

This evening I again tried to install RSJ cd-rw program. Results were the
same: lockup in boot sequence. I will describe what I did and the
sequence.

First, I downloaded the exe. program from RSJ to my RSJ CD-writer file in
the D drive. Second, I executed the program to install. The RSJ install
page came up with the various installation options are listed. The
install button was engaged and the install program started. A window
appeared to personalize the program. My name was entered and the OK
button was pushed. A warning window appeared telling me the trial period
had ended. A button was punched for Ok and a message to restart the
computer before trying to reinstall again. Then a window appeared saying
the install was complete and to restart the computer for the program to be
functional. Third, following the directions from RSJ support:

""

If you want to give it a new try you can perform the following steps:

- install our software
- change the following CONFIG.SYS line *before* the reboot from:

BASEDEV=LOCKCDR.FLT

to

BASEDEV=LOCKCDR.FLT -n -i:"PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W1610"

By that change our automatic recorder detection ( which - I guess -
is causing the hang during boot) and tells the driver to recognize
your drive manually

- replace the file c:\cdwfs\cddrv.inf with that one contained in
the mail."
I changed the BASEDEV=LOCKCDR.FLT statement in config.sys.
I deleted the cddrv.inf file and replaced it with the one in the
attachment that came with the RSJ support email. (See attachment)

Fourth, I rebooted the machine and it locked in booting. Here is the
message where the boot process locked:
"the path specified for it in the CONFIG.SYS file. Install this file
in the correct directory or correct the appropriate CONFIG.SYSfile
statemnt.

stopped. Correct the preceding error and restart the system"

Fifth, a recovery operation was performed to start the system with an
archived system dated yesterday, 11-6-02.

Sixth, the rsj.exe program to install was deleted from my RSJ CD Writer
folder in the D drive. I also deleted files in the CDWFS file located on
the C drive. This material is installed at time of installation. I
removed it to clean the folder.

Hopefully, corrective measures can be instigated from this information.
