I had win 95 OSR 2 in my Compaq Presario. I got a Win 98 SE Upgrade from
Ebay and I had installed the same without any problems. The only issue is
that the CD-Rom drive door does NOT open smoothly NOW!
What should be the settings in -

System Properties
Performance
File System
CD-ROM ?

The Driver is alright as I had uninstalled and allowed Windows Update Wizard
to search and install the correct Driver.

Thanking you
Capt K Ripendran

Settings there (or elsewhere in Windows) should not have any effect on how
*smoothly* a CD drive door opens and closes. That would be strictly a hardware
issue within the drive itself. AFAIK.

Have you installed all of the updates that are available for 98 SE on
http://update.microsoft.com/ ?

And have you installed the latest driver file for Win98 for that make and
model of drive?

Those settings have no bearing on how the door opens.

Set them to:
1. Large
2. Quad-speed or higher
