Thanks – I already use a UPS. Doesn’t seem to have saved the power supply though. Will be trying a new one tonight.

Thanks – will certainly try the power supply first – this will be cheaper option as well.

Thanks for reply. The PC worked fine for the first 4 months then voltage problems occurred. Power supply should be adequate – is Antec true power 380W. Will try another power supply first as that is cheapest option. Could voltage regulators on MB be problem. Thanks for suggestions.

The CD is a Training CD supplied by an instrument company. Probably done in house.
I have tried the CD on 3 NT PC’s with the same result – short filenames.
How is W2K able to see the long filenames?

Sorry seems like I have mislead everyone. The problem is with the files on a CD. W2K explorer shows long file names. WINNT explorer shows only short filenames. Consequently the CD will not run properly on WINNT as the program on it calls other files with the longfilename. So the question is why does W2K show long filenames and WINNT short ones.
Sorry everyone who has helped so far.

The file names have been truncated to 8.3 with the usual formatting e.g., mydocu~1.doc. All file names are displayed this way.

Thanks. I got the sender to create an archive with stuffit and send that. Using stuffit expander my end then allowed the file to be opened corectly. Thanks to all who offerred help.
