NO, I have never had any problems with any of the disks. The only one that caused some problems was 7th Guest. But there is a fix for that one. Its a file you can download the file CIS.
Get it! Its my favorite (besides 7th Guest, and Cinemania.
The problem was fixed in the 3-6 edition. Look for it in Nautilus Services corrections/updates. I have to say that I have never ever EVER had buggier software than Nautilus. I have spent hours and HOURS trying to get things to run only to find out that it was a…
I agree, and I complained and they sent me some! I suggest that everyone do the same, as you paid for them when you signed up!
the date on the cd is 1990 but I am not sure what version it is. I can load it up and take a look if you are interested.

I have Software Toolworks Time and Innovation, also their Encyclopedia, the Microsoft Small Business Consultant.
thanks for the response, Larry. I just finished the game last night. Pretty hard towards the end! Never did solve the microscope puzzle. That was the only one I cheated on. How about you?
yes, I did try the cd cace programs onc Coreldrw (cd based version), Multi Media Beethoven, Bookshelf, as well as Nautilus and the new game 7th Guest. I still hate the product! Wish they could improve them, so we could actually use them!
how does it do with cdrom games like 7th Guest?
I have tried both the CD Speedway program, and the Lightwin package. I can honestly say that I have never hated 2 programs more than these cache programs. The documentation absolutely sucks with cdspeedway. And both programs actually slow things down if you are using cds that don't go back…
I am interested in cd speedway. I have read the letters here and on AOL but as of yet have not made up my mind. I have 8 meg of ram, running a 386 40mz and windows 3.1 with about a 2 meg pctools cache (one meg for windows cache.)…
well, is it upgraded…or would I be getting a buggy cd?
this is really stupid! I am not interested in reading about dak's bread machine in the cd rom section…please take your culinary questions elsewhere!!!
MS Bookshelf

I too have the same setup that you have, but didnt have any problems with ms bookshelf except in the world atlas part. A message came up whenever I tried to listen to the anthems telling me that they may not play correctly with my current setup. Oh well, everything…

I missed the beginning of your thread about the soundblaster pro, and windows 3.1 versus your older version. Care to fill me in?
#US ATLAS & AUTOMAP
Message #19404
I have a new (still in the shrinkwrap) copy of US Atlas AND Automap for sale. By the way, both programs are on 1 cdrom disk. The list price is $99.95. If you want it you can have if for half of that! Please leave me e-mail if you are…
Creative Labs bbs had mscdex ver 2.21 on it. The number is 1-408-428-6660. Hope this helps you out!
oh! thanks..well creative labs was supposed to have left the new files up on their bbs but they seem to be too busy to take the time to do it! send
i have version 2.21…is that what you mean?
i had the same problem and it turned out that for some reason, my cdrom player had reset to 0 volume ( it was the Science and Innovaton disk's fault ). So make sure you have in your autoexec.bat a line that turns the cd volume up and then try…

Help! I have the Soundblaster Pro with cdrom and just got National Geographic Mammals cd. I can't get the sound to work properly and was wondering what I need to do to get it to work. I get 2 different voices at the same time when I should get 1…
I have the sounblaster pro with the panasonic cdrom, and so far so good. That is AFTER i got some drivers that actually worked with my f****** video card. If anyone has this setup and has a Diamond Speedstar and can't get 256 mode to work with some applications, drop…
how much is this cd pack?
Thats never happened to me, but thanks for the reply! wonder why this message didnt appear in the "waiting messages for you" option? Oh well…if you have some suggestions for good cd's to buy, i would appreciate it! send
diamond speedstar
Message #17006
Does anyone here have a Diamond Speedstar Hi-color card, and the Creative Labs multimedia kit? The reason for my question is that I would like to know why I cannot run more than 16 color mode and still get my MM encyclopedia to work with audio or animation. Please reply…
