About 18 months ago on a trip to the US I bought a Hitachi CD-ROM drive marketed by Sun Moon Star and bundled with a couple of good titles (at the time). I just bought Bookshelf for Windows but cannot access video and sound (well, I have no sound card) because I need MSCDEX.EXE ver 2.2. How do I get my hands on those files. I am considering purchasing a Sound Blaster Pro. Will it come bundled with a board like that? Will I still need it when I upgrade to WIN 3.1? I live in Japan and here it just isn't available in any store. Rene

Sources for mscdex are detailed in file laser3.txt in lib #4. Hope it gets you running! Kevin–

MSCDEX.EXE ver 2.21 can be found in the Microsoft Software Library (GO MSL). The file name is CDEXT.EXE. Good Luck – Jeff

Thanx! I discovered that 2.21 is the driver I have installed, but I still can't get video with Bookshelf for Windows running 3.0. Rene
