CAUSE ===== This problem occurs when the application is unable to open files on the CD-ROM for binary input in order to extract size information out of the file header. This process fails when either no drivers are installed or only Real-mode drivers have been installed for the CD-ROM device. RESOLUTION ========== To verify that your computer is running Protect Mode CD drivers, follow these steps: 1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. 2. Double-click the System Control Panel. 3. Click the Device Manager tab. 4. Examine the list of devices under Computer. If CD-ROM appears in this list, then you are running Windows 95 Protect Mode drivers. To remove any existing Real Mode CD drivers, follow these steps: 1. Click the Start button, and then click Run. 2. In the Open field, type "sysedit" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK. 3. Examine the Autoexec.bat file. Look for a line referencing the file MSCDEX.EXE. For example: C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:CDROM01 Remark out this line by placing "REM " at the beginning of the line. 4. Examine the Config.sys file. Look for a line containing an identical string to the "/D:" string identified above. For example: DEVICEHIGH=C:\CDROM\IDECD.SYS /D:CDROM01 Remark out this line by placing "REM " at the beginning of the line. 5. Exit the System Configuration Editor. When you are prompted to save your changes, click Yes. To install Protect Mode CD drivers, follow these steps: NOTE: If your computer is already running Protect Mode CD drivers, the following steps are not necessary. 1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. 2. Double-click the Add New Hardware icon. 3. Allow the Add New Hardware Wizard to detect your CD-ROM device.
