Another workaround I just found is this. After the drive begins to search the disc, eject it and then reinsert it in the drive. The system then seems to find it. Sometimes this has to be done with both device driver disc 1 and disc 2.

The workaround to the hang up is... When the prompt for Device Driver Disc 2 comes up is to put in the name of the Disc. D:\DCD-May04-2... Normally the installer is just looking for D: Disc 1 doesn't have the information it wants so it searches forever... This will allow you to insert the correct Disc.!? Or you can do what NI says and copy the whole package to your hard drive then do the install. Thanks to everyone that replied!

It seems the windows autoplay feature causes problems, though I've never been not able to open the drive. Usually after I swap CDs, the installation just hangs and I have to eject the CD, then close it again while holding the Shift key down. Holding the Shift key while inserting a CD temporarily disables the autoplay feature and the installer then finds the new CD and continues. Not exactly the problem you're having, but it might be worth checking. Ed -------------------------------------------------------- Edwin O.

Thanks to NI's mix up mine finally got here. I tried upgrading yesterday and was unable to complete the task!? When the installer got to insert Driver Disc 2 my CD never turned off, and the eject button or eject click wouldn't work! Has any one else had this problem? NI acted like they'd never heard of it! I still have an open service number with NI, but have been too busy today to attempt another upgrade... I finally gave up and CTRL-ALT-DEL!?... I'm running XP SP1a...
