My main drive is labeled E instead of C. This doesn't give me any trouble except in the Hoyle Card Games software. I was using the 2004 version, and the FaceCreator PART of the software didn't work - a minor problem, everything else was fine. I recently purchased the 2005 version, hoping it would fix that. Unfortunately things have gone from bad to worse.

I found with the new version, not only did the FaceCreator still not work, but other things that worked fine with the old version were buggy - the most mysterious being it won't display the correct background in Hearts - any other game is fine, but whenever I started the Hearts game, it showed a plain green background, even though when I went to change it, it would show a different background in the list, as though it really were using the background I told it to use last. I have to click on a different background, click apply, then click the background I really want, and click ok.

I looked at the game forums at Encore (the publisher of the cd) to fix the FaceCreator  and there was a section that had a workaround for those without a c drive. It said to set up a folder on the main drive, copy the FaceCreator files in it, then go to a COMMAND box and type SUBST C: E:\FaceCreator, start the game and it should work. Well, it doesn't. I have posted to that forum ASKING for help and their suggestion was to reformat my computer to have a c drive.

I finally decided to give the new version to somebody with a c drive and REINSTALL the old version, and when I try that I get an error message that SAYS Error 1327.Invalid Drive: C:\. I'm assuming this has to do with the SUBST command, and I don't know how to reverse it, and the Encore forum didn't know either.

The computer was given to me by my brother-in-law, and it was set up by his son-in-law. I have asked this question of both of them and they both deny any knowledge of how or why the computer was set up this way. I use Windows XP Pro.

So my question is, hoping that I can reverse the action that keeps me from reinstalling my old game, can I undo the SUBST command and how? I know enough about computers to follow directions when someone says "open a command window and type such and such," but I'm not a geek so step-by-step directions are best. Alternatively, is there another way to change the e drive to a c drive without reformatting the entire computer? Thanks for your help - ElizabethI'm not exactly a guru with computers but it would seem logical to me that if you had to type SUBST E:\Facecreator C: in the command box where you previously made the change it would reverse the substitution.

More than that, no idea.

Just thought but might be worth a try.

Good luck.Is it a SATA HD?Bit odd that you have E as your main drive; Therefore, are there another partitions present? Possibly your physical hard drive has been partitioned into E and other assigned drive partitions (with their assigned letters). Drive letters can be reassigned, changed, and removed as described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307844
