Running V3.0 (Not on 3.01 yet) when I start the Pulsar software I am getting the following message...
***
(Title)Creamware Pulsar: Pulsar.exe - Drive Not Ready

(Message) The drive is not ready for use; its door may be open. Please check drive A: and make sure that a disk is inserted and the drive door is closed.

(Button Options are) Cancel, Try Again, Continue
***

Placing a disk in drive and selecting Try Again does causes the message to reappear however selecting Continue allows Pulsar to continue without incident.

Any Ideas Anyone??

PS. Setup is PIII 1.2GHz, Asus Tsulc-2, Geforce2, W2K, 384 Mb RAM, Quantum Fireballs Pulsar II + LunaII with no Luna software installed.

Check in your Pulsar if the explorer window doesn't happen to be on a: or maybe other folder relations...

I had thought of that and set the selected drive in the file browser to D: (which is a hard disk drive) and unfortunately that has not fixed either.

Thx 4 Readin' & Replyin' anyway.

I have it sorted...

As it turns out the A: drive is not functioning properly and the Search Options is attempting to inspect the A drive at startup and of course stumbling.

Problem solved, thanks folks!!
