Guide Suddenly Demands CD ROM
Patrick Maloney Jan 12, 2018
Hello All,
I've just hit an unusual problem. After running Guide 9.1 for a LONG
time with no problems at all, this afternoon when I clicked on the Guide
icon, I got a message 'GUIDE needs the GUIDE CD ROM to run. Check your
CD drive and try again.'
Guide is fully installed on my PC and has been for many years (over
various versions). I've never had this message before.
Reluctantly, I put the Guide 9.0 DVD in the CD drive and tried again. I
was rewarded with the normal Guide window (showing 'Guide 9.1 Sun 12
Jan 2018 14:06:20 ' ) Worse, the actual main window was completely blank.
It looks to me as though a file has become corrupted somewhere. I
suspected the Initial Mark file (startup.mar) to be the problem, and
loaded a previous Mark. This seemed to work, but Guide still demands
that the DVD be in the CD drive.
Do I need to reinstall from the DVD? Why has this happened? Any help
gratefully received.
Thanks,
Patrick
