weird altBrowser problem

[Luis]

Hiya,

I'd say it's a spin-up issue. Insert a delay and see if that stops it  
from happening. Or: Prior to the URL fetch ask it to read in a small  
text file from the CD to get it going and then fetch the URL. Or: Get  
the volume info OF THE CD. Essentially they are just different ways  
to get the drive to spin-up.
I've found 'fast' old drives take longer to spin-up.

Cheers,

Luis.
