Dwight, I examined the Win3.1 upgrade brochure carefully, and I believe the "MCI" (Media Control Interface) will replace MSCDEX. I quote: "Windows 3.1 also includes the media control interface (MCI), which is designed to control multimedia devices such as videodisc players and digital video cards (such as DVI). MCI also enables you to add new multimedia applications and peripherals to your PC as they become available." This statement is accompanied by the MPC logo, and another sentence specifically mentions CD-ROM players. If anyone has any more definite evidence (to prove my supposition right or wrong), I'll be looking forward to seeing it. Kathy

Katherine, guess we'll know if we can get rid of MSCDEX in a couple of weeks when Windows 3.1 hits the streets.
