1: Hi, 2: I have a internal CD-RM drive form Compudyne, and I've got 3: MS Beethoven Multimedia. In Windows 3.1 (using MSCDEX 2.21) 4: I can access the CD-ROM in file manager and could install 5: MS Beethoven from the CD, but when I try to start up the 6: application, it responds that it cannot find the CD-drive!? 7: Using the PLAYCD program supplied with the drive I can play 8: the audiotracks, but no matter what I do, I can't start 9: MS Beethoven MM. 10: 11: Anybody got an idea? 12: 13: Hans D.

Hans, just a possibility to check out. I've been unable to access the CD-ROM when the MSCDEX driver is loaded high in AUTOEXEC.BAT. Stu

Stu, I don't seem to be able to load MSCDEX high(!?) However, I can call my reference library, and encyclopedia from within Windows fine. Do I need to install the [MCI] CDAudio driver? Hans

I have been running MSCDEX high with no problem. I did have a problem with MS Beethoven hanging, this turned out to be that the multimedia extensions had not updated my Windows 3.0 properly (none of the drivers got installed). I ditched Windows and reload MM windows from the CDROM and all was fine. Phil Camp.

Phil, It seems to me that I'm experiencing a similar problem…MS Beethoven is not running; just after presentation screen it says that no CD-ROM is available. All other CD-ROM I have are running great! Any advice? Paolo

I got Beethoven up under 3.0 with the MM Extensions. – Rory

I solved my problem simply by installing the [MCI]CD Audio device. Then everything worked fine. This was suggested by a previous post here, Thanks. Hans D. Jensen

Hans, Where did you find the MCI CD-Audio driver? Is this a windows-supplied driver? what's the procedure? Thanks!!
