Rave Cd1

downloaded the rave cd last night but the only menu's that have anything in them is the special tools menu??????
for instance when i click on workshop nothin happens??? whats gone wrong?

Have you copied the iso file to a cd? mine wouldnt run properly until i copied the image file to a cdr then it was fine!

which image file? anychance of talking me through it?

when you download it you don't actually download the PDF manual - you download the file that you then need to burn to a CD (using Roxio, NTI or any cd image burning software ) you can then access the manual on the CD with adobe acrobat or save the content of the disc to your hard drive & access it there

so the icon it left on my desktop, drag and copy that icon to a CDR??? when i was downlaoding it i save strait to my HD.????????

right - here goes

if you've downloaded it you should have an ISO file about 600MB called 'rave001' (or 002 depending on vehicle) saved somewhere on you pooter

you need a cd burning program of some kind eg, NTI , Easy cd etc

insert blank CD into CD burner

if you double click on the ISO file it should automatically open in your burning software

click on the 'burn CD' or 'create CD' or 'burn image' (depending on software)

all the files will be copied onto the cd in a folder titled 'Rave (Discovery II _ Freelander '01)'
open this folder & double click on the application file 'RAVE' (with small 'green oval' landrover icon

this will automatically start Acrobat reader & open the manual ( should also place shortcut icon on your desktop )

JOB DONE !

chers ill give it a shot now

Alternatively,

Use a free program call Daemon tools to mount the .iso image as if it were another drive that way you never have to burn to cd and it is available all the time.

be careful doin that - i think it sets up a ram drive - and can kill yo memory - juzz be careful.

yeah but..., no but...... but only takes a coupla mins to burn cd & then just copy the files to your hard drive - runs quicker straight from hard drive instead of having to keep running the cd - i've got 1 on me desktop, 1 on me laptop & a couple of spare cd's

me too - but i was talking of these progs which set up a dummy cd drive.

Horses for courses.

It's just some people have trouble burning .iso files and Daemon is a good alternative.

Both ways are equally valid

Never had any problems myself but I take note of the warning

oh - like 'virtual CD' you mean ? - for those programs that you have to insert the cd everytime you want to run it - got that on me laptop - was always forgetting the cd's - it's never given me any problems

i dint say it would - it depends on how much mammeries yu got - but I have known it with machines which are marginal on system requirements.

Dual core & 1gb so probably not in my case

But, as I said, yours is a valid point to note.

Forgot about this one.

If you are still having trouble burning the .iso file try this.

Active@ ISO Burner. Data CD DVD burning software. Write ISO image to CD,DVD,CD-RW,CDR,DVD-RW.

Free and extremely easy to use just browse to the file via the interface.

hi all i put mine on a 1gb memory stick so i can plug it in to any USB port and it is much quicker to open files plus it wont get scratched or broken.

Also have you got a PDF reader, ie Adobe acrobat reader?

its on the cd
