PS: I guess I don't need a disk if I can network the laptops. So forget the
DVD burning question. I'll wait and batt le that when I get a working
computer.
BTW: the buggy drive is on a Lenovo which (really, no joke) has a serial
number starting with FU
I noticed that when I sent in the rebate.
Didn't know it would live up to its name.
Sorry, just a little impatient. (Now remember,
for(;;){patience is a virtue...}

how do you extract from an ISO? Is that what UltraISO is supposed to do?
Setup.exe is only one of the files in the ISO -- there is an inf file that
supposedly runs when the disk is inserted into the drive. I haven't fired
up UltraISO since I bought it more than a month ago -- I did what I needed
to do (or so I thought) and then let it sit.
Ok I remember -- I wanted to burn the dvd so I could install the software on
other laptops. Wouldn't you know the buggy drive is on my main machine.
Thanks Ty -- I confess I'm a little impatient with windows apps. Compared to
the unix/linux stuff I was used to as a student, windows is one big straight
jacket.
Take care.

laura,
You can just extract the files and run setup.exe
Thanks,

My programs don't have bugs, they're called randomly added features.
