trying to be as explicit as possible in my title...
got a very basic project published - all worked fine in Proj preview...
published to a folder on my C: drive like tutorial said.
Then burned the folder contents to a CD-R per Roxio CD/DVD Easy Creator 6.
brought all the folders into the space to record and did so.
took the VCD to my sec'y's computer and put it into her CD-R drive.
nothing..... nada......
had to open windows explorer and click on the autorun icon.
OK, then had a couple of error msgs on Acrobat reader on the first file to click but OK the next....{?} My powerpoint presentations wouldnt open at all, not even to give me an error msg. they had all worked OK in Preview.
And someone had an earlier reply stating to create a installation menu to open the VCD up.
***thought that's what this program did automatically?
If i do need to do that, i have NO clue where to create a install menu, much less have it get onto the VCD somehow.
so...
(1) autorun failure upon VCD loading into a computer ....note: Secy has old computer...could all this just be from very slow loading times on her computer???? I counted 45 secs and still no autorun to start....
(2) VCD doesnt recognize path/whatever for Powerpoint pres [all that got put into the folder like the indezine.com article stated - worked in Preview]
(3) possible conflict with the Reader 5.0 i have in a folder with my .pdf files....
again, thanks. i will be OOT till next Monday - got 2 funerals and my deceased cousin's estate sale to deal with until then. Boss will just have to deal with this as is I guess!.....
but please -- anyone with some suggestions, please post 'em!
