Re: Package for CD Problem



I can however, save the package to file with no problems (in package CD
window), and I can burn that onto a CD no problem, but unfortunately, if I do
it this way, the CD does not run automatically and I need it to do so, as it
is a presentation CD for potential clients.

Package for CD will create a folder full of files. If you burn that *folder* to
the CD, it won't work.

Instead, burn the contents of the folder to the cd.

In other words ...

On your hard drive, you might have:

various files in the root drive and
\MyPresentation (the folder you made with Package for CD)
File.ppt
File.wav
FileFileFile.etc
\ThisFolder
\ThatFolder
\Windows

The CD should contain:

File.ppt
File.wav
FileFileFile.etc
