[Shotimes] Re: ford cds - ISSUES RESOLVED

[Robert Bruce]

I already had the 93/94 CD & it worked fine.  Downloaded the 92 file. Burned
the 92 to a CD & tried to view it.  That caused both CDs to not function.
So I deleted the Ford folder from my C drive, reinstalled only the 92 & it
works fine.  Gave the 93/94 CD to Mike to run on his laptop. Not sure what I
did wrong, but at least both CDs are accessible now.

Ian,  I think he's just waiting for a real copy of the 93 version.

So far I've downloaded the 92, 94 and 95 with the corrected volume labels.
 They all now work properly on my rig.
