douglas at frog:~/Documents/MMORPG/Python/GroupSpaceAdventure/Client$ ls
-l /dev/scd* /dev/dvd*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      4 2009-05-29 09:25 /dev/dvd1 -> scd0

As I said before they all point to scd0. If I go into the viewer and
change the setting to scd0 it works. What I want to know is why all
the views have the wrong setting now and where they got it from.

If you remember my computer was one of the ones that hand that first
problem with the cd.rules. We deleted it, rebooted and all was well. I
am not sure what is up now but maybe it is somehow related? The same
error but at an even lower level?

Also said before but to say it again. I already deleted that and
rebooted. Problem is still there.
For some reason all the players are trying to play hda. How do they get that?

I thought I would send a copy of cd.rules file also but oddly it is
not there at all. It did not regenerate. ?? Why would that be?

Thanks for the help.

My renamed backup.
