I just received my MSCDEX 2.2 update for my Hitachi 3500 from CD-ROM, Inc., and thought that it would be all I need to run the multimedia (audio & animation) parts of Microsoft Bookshelf for Windows (at least, the saleslady at CD-ROM, Inc said so), but it seems I also need something called "Microsoft Multimedia Extensions for Windows", but the saleslady at CD-ROM, Inc. was no help in getting it. PC Connection, my usual software dealer, had no idea what I was talking about. So… WHERE CAN I GET "MICROSOFT MULTIMEDIA EXTENSIONS FOR WINDOWS" ?????? Thanks in advance for any help. >*< Fritz Neumann There is 1 Reply.

Fritz, first you were vague in saying whether you had a sound board yet. If so, is it a Sound Blaster Pro or Pro Audio Spectrum or Turtle Beach sound board? It is has to be one of these currently relased boards if you want to do Multimedia Extensions for Windows. If you have one of these boards then contact the manufacturer and purchase the MME through them. I bought just the MME from Creative Labs (SB Pro) for $49.95 + $5 S/H and had it in 10 days. Since I already had the sound board and CDROM drive, I didn't need to purchase the entire MME upgrade kit. CMS can be reached (800) 544-6146. Cheers, Keith.

I do have the original SoundBlaster. Will that not suffice for multimedia Windows? What does the Pro model support that the original does not? >*< Fritz
