I have a creative Labs CD Rom player that I have fitted to my PC Together with the Sound Blaster Pro Card. My problem is I don't have the installation disk or the "Windows with Multi-media" disk. When trying to run the CD I get an error about MSCDEX not loaded. Is it possible to download software drivers from anwhere? are CLABS on Compuserve? I would be grateful for any advice Regards, David

David, you need both the driver for the CDROM (*.sys of some kind) and mscdex.exe which you can download from CIS in the Multimedia Forum. There's a file in Lib #4 in CDROM called laser3.txt that will show you how to use mscdex and give you some other info. Creative Labs has a BBS with their drivers, etc. at 510-428-6660. Might be cheaper, depending on the phone rates. If that's a problem, I could download their stuff and send it to you here if you tell me exactly what you need.
