The floppy disk is write-protected. Disable the write-protect feature or use a floppy disk that is not write-

 

protected.

￿

Check that the disk is properly inserted into the floppy disk drive.

￿

Your disk may be corrupt. Try to insert another floppy disk.

When I double-click an application icon a message such as 'You must insert the application CD into your CD-ROM drive' appears and the software does not start.

￿

Some titles require specific files that are located on the application CD-ROM. Insert the disc and try

 

starting the program again.

Make sure you place the disc in the tray with the label side facing up.
