That's the usual case of waht I call "Memory Shock." No real good suggestions out there about what to do about it. No familarity with 386MAX. In a DOS5 environment, the usual answer is to enable the /E switch and try to load MSCDEX into expanded memory. The other work around for some is the use DEVICEHIGH in your Config.sys for your CD Drive device driver. For example, for a PAS16 default setup it would be: DEVICEHIGH=c:\PROAUDIO\TSLCDR.SYS /D:MVCD001 / S:31 DEVICEHIGH=C:\PROAUDIO\MVSOUND.SYS D:1 Q:7 You would then modify your Autoexec.bat with LOADHIGH: LOADHIGH C:\PROAUDIO\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MVCD001 /L:D /M:8 /V /E This works with the older version of MSCDEX 2.2. For some reason only known to Microsoft, the latest verison of MSCDEX ver 2.21, can not be loaded high with DOS 5.0 (CD-Rom Programmer's Guide for MS-D)S CD-ROM Extension Verison 2.21, Microsoft Corp., Jan 1992, p.12-8). If you are using V2.21, you only option with DOS 5 is /E, but this will only save you 16K. Let me know what your solution for 386Max is. Good Luck. JC
