I am so frustrated trying to make a CD. I made my third CD this morning and some of the files work and some don't. The only thing that came off without a hitch was naming the CD images.
I tested my new images CD on both drives, CD Writer and the regular CD drive, as well as my old 486 Epson CD. The files that work, work on all drives.
I set up the folder so that you can look at the files like you are on the Net. That doesn't work on the old computer because it only allows 8 letter file names, so the picture names don't match up if they are over 8 letters.
One of the folders, graphics, I copied from my images CD to the C harddrive, and it works fine. Everything in the folder works as a webpage in preview and if I click on it. The folder has 11.1 MB of HTML files and graphics.
I backed up my font folder and as far as I can see none of the files work. Everything appears okay, but when you click on a font, I get "The requested file D:\fonts\arial.ttf was not a valid font file". If I click on an HTML file, I get, "no page to display". If I click on a .gif file, nothing happens. If I click on a zip file, I get "Error [D:/fonts/font.zip]: unrecoverable Zip file read error. Please press f1 for help."
When I press F1, I get: "Message WZ54
This error occurred during internal Zip processing. Correct the error and retry the operation." Duh, if I knew how, I wouldn't have an error.
If I try to copy one of the folders or files from the images CD back to the C harddrive, and it won't work, I get this error message: "Cannot copy 0: The device does not recognize the command". So if the file is not working, it won't copy.
So I can tell the valid files, but that would mean I'd have to test every file to see which are backed up and which are not. Sheesh!
Zip files are much easier. I backed up my font folder on Zip disk, and it works fine. (I think it works... trotting off to check out my Zip backup. Yep, all is well.) sigh I remember my sister saying she had a lot of shiny frisbees while she was learning so I'm trying not to get too upset about this.
Another thing... since I got my computer back from the shop, it has quit three times. It is sorta like it is clicking the circuit breaker on my surge protector. Does this mean it's my computer or GV Electric Company sending me surges?
I have a 14-day warranty on the new power supply. Should take it back to the tech and have her test it?
I called my sister for help this morning, but I got the machine.
