It is silly things like this that bites me in the rear. Is your user added to the cdrom or similar groups? One thing you could try, run the program as root in a terminal, Konsole here for me. That will eliminate a permissions issue real quick and you can look for errors too. If it works, then it is just a permissions problem. If it doesn't work, then it is something with the program itself or hardware related. Let's hope for the permissions one. It's easier to fix and you don't have to take the sides off the puter either. If it is the program, well, who knows when that could get fixed. Ma'am. < tips hat > Dale :-) :-)
