cdrom not reading files "sees" all files as music

[tim78412]

I do volunteer work repairing computers for the disablied. I had an old copy
of ME. For several years I used it so I decided to upgrade a computer using
win98 to ME. All went find except for 2 problems. The major one is it will no
longer read the files system on cd-rw. It sees all files as music. This was
not a problem for this machine in win98. How do I work around this problem?

Another smaller problem is that the machine no longer shuts down completely
by itself. A message comes on screen saying it is safe to turn off the
computer. I am guessing this has to do with adci (not sure if those are the
right letters I think it is aa power management issue). How do I get it to
shut down?

Regarding the first problem, you may have to re-install any CD writing
software utility (Adaptec, Nero, etc.) especially if the cd-rw discs were
written using packet writing software.
