SYMPTOMS
========
When you start Media Player, an audio CD in the CD-ROM drive may begin playing.
CAUSE
=====
This problem can occur with older NEC CD-ROM drives connected to a Trantor SCSI
adapter. These CD-ROM drives have a BIOS revision that is not completely
compatible with the Windows 95 Trantor driver.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:
- Upgrade the CD-ROM drive to a firmware revision of 2.2 or later. Please
contact the drive manufacturer for information about a firmware upgrade.
- Prevent Windows 95 from playing audio CDs automatically. For information
about this method, please see the following article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:
Q126025 Preventing Windows 95 from Playing Audio CDs Automatically
- Load the real-mode driver that came with the CD-ROM drive.
To use a real-mode driver instead of the Windows 95 protected-mode driver,
load the driver in the Config.sys file, and load the Mscdex.exe file included
with Windows 95 in the Autoexec.bat file following the manufacturer's
instructions.
NOTE: If these drivers were already installed when you installed Windows 95,
they may still be in the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files, but be remarked
out.
