Hi gang, well 3DWorld Magazine Issue 100 finally arrived in my portion of the US.

However, for the first time, my three copies and I repeat three copies of the issue's CD is blank (no autorun, CD title missing (default title CD-RW present), Window's explorer indicates empty disk.  In the start/run program list, there are the exe files present along with everything on my other drives, just when clicking on them I get no path found.

Purchased two magazines from Barnes and Noble,  with identical problems and one at Books-a-Million--ditto.

Of course the stores were kind enough to refund my money.

Yep, that is the first thing I check, did my CD-RW drive go belly up?  The answer is no, my Issue 99 disk works just fine.

Since it happened with three different magazines, two different stores, I'm guessing that there was a reproduction (burning) problem for that batch at 3DWorld Magazine or they changed over to a format that my computer doesn't recognize.

Anyone else in the States having the same problem?  Plutom
