I am having a problem with my PC and would appreciate your help.
My computer is not detecting my CD Drive [D:\]. [In Explorer there is a A:\ Drive and a C:\ Drive but no D:\ Drive.]
On booting up the BIOS is picking up the CD Drive.
MY PC is an IBM Aptiva 2199-100 with AMD K6-2/450Mhz CPU with 64Mb RAM.
I'm running Windows 98 and I'm using PC-cillan 2002 as my anti-virus program.
I've run a virus check and my PC is clean.
Not that this should be the problem, but I'm also running Internet Explorer 6 & Outlook Express 6, Office 97, etc.
Interestingly my son's PC [AMD 1600+ with 256 DDR RAM running Windows XP and also using PC-cillan] last week was also not detecting his CD Drive [D:\] & his CD RW Burner [E:\]. So when my PC started playing up we though it was a virus but again PC-cillan said it was clear. He finally resolved his problem [re-installed Windows XP] and has now reformatted his PC & is reloading everything. I want to avoid this.
I also have one minor problem that relates to PC-Cillan [and I'm told it also applied to Nortons].
For some unknown reason, from time to time, the mail server is reset by the Anti Virus Program and I have to reset my account details with the my ISP. [I'm using a dial up modem]. My ISP can't help - they say its the anti-virus that causes it & I have to reset my account details.
Thanking you in anticipation that you can assist.
A reply via post AND Email would be appreciated.
