#MSCDEX help
Rich (or anyone that can help): I was told that I migh be bale to get some
help with MSCDEX.EXE problems here. I am having several problems with this
program, and can't figure out where the best place to get help would be. On
the off chance that it is here, I will list the problems below. If this
isn't the forum, would you tell me which one would be a better bet?
Problem 1: If I load the program in AUTOEXEC.BAT with the following commands,
everything works perfectly:
C:
\CDROM\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD008 /M:8
However, if I do the following:
C:
C:\CDROM\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD008 /M:8
Then I get the message "Device driver not found: 'MSCD008 '" followed
by the message: "No valid CDROM device drivers selected". The program exits,
and the CDROM drive is not available. This one is no big deal as the first
commands above will work.
Problem 2: If I try to use the DOS 5.0 LOADHIGH command to load this program
into upper memory, I get the message "Insufficient memory", even though the
file size is only 25k, and the program is only 31k after initilization, and
there is more than that available in upper memory in one piece. I get the
same message even if I change the /M:8 to /M:2 to reduce memory requirements.
