running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close" to
terminate the application."
I am trying to re-install the "Sonic RecordNow 6.5" software that came with my Dell computer from the disc provided by Dell and as soon as I insert the disc that error pops up.
Very, very frustrated. : smileymad:

That solution is useless for the everyday computer novice including myself. I tried it twice and it didn't work. I found the link below to be very useful (according to all the posts) although I have not yet tried it myself. I'm going to try when I get home.

I wasn't trying to come across as ungrateful. Its just that after days of emailing back and forth with Dell directly I still have no solution. I am appreciative of any advice, this problem is just frustrating and I haven't gotten any solid solution from Dell. Only after searching the web for a solution was I able find what appears to be a solution from the private sector.
I guess I better avoid and steps the rest of the day.

Thanks, that utility appears to be similar to the one I found in the previous link I posted. I will try it tonight on my home computer which is where the problem occured.

Good find. I snagged it for the Delltalk Tweekz site since the problem has come up so frequently recently.

It does seem to have become a fairly common problem. I wonder if some new malware (or even a misbehaving legitimate app) out there is deleting/corrupting these files.
