Hi Luiz

I'm not sure if this can be done or not... (my *guess* is that it can't be
done but then again I'm not sure).

Anyway, this is something that happens with 99.9% of the software out
there... If you remove the CD even though it is still needed you will get
the blue screen (BSOD). That is simply something that the user should be
aware of in my opinion. If your software was the only one doing that then
that would be a problem but it is more of a structural problem IMO.

Cheers.

Subject: <lingo-l> How to detect disk loading from lingo?


I have a project that runs on CD-ROM. Sometimes it loads some
files that I tell the projector to load, when I do that - I check if
the volume (CD-Drive) is mounted or not - to avoid problems.

Sometimes the movie can't fit entirely on the RAM so the projector loads the
movie in parts but lets suppose that the user removes the CD-ROM from the
drive....
He(or she) gets an uggly blue screen warning that sometimes crashes
everything and
requires a reboot.

How can I get a message in lingo everytime director needs to access the
disk,
so I can display a 'pretty' alert message avoiding the user to get those
uggly Blue-screen message on windows?
