CD-ROM problem
I asked about a problem with my CD-ROM a few few minutes
ago and got a response, before I do it I want to know if I just delete the entire item in the device manager and how do I reboot? Thanks Here is what I and the replier wrote: I wrote: When I Insert a CD program in my CD-ROM, my computer doesn't recognize that it's there. I went to Device Manager and there is an yellow circle with an exclamation point next to where it says: "Mitsumi CD-ROM controller with double speed drive". When I click it it say: "not present, not working properly, or does not have all the drivers installed" It has the exclamation point and states the same problem where is says "IDE Primary controller", "IDE secondary controller" and "Standard Floppy Disc Controller": I have Windows 98, what did I do to my computer and how can I fix this?

CD-ROM problem
Normally, this is done in safe mode. Leave the primary ide controller for
last. You may have more than one instance of each. Reboot method is on the start menu. Am not sure though about the fix though. That is, Mitsumi CD ROM controller, in windows terms, implies a separate controller card. Not sure if windows 98 has drivers for such. "Alex" wrote in message ...

CD-ROM problem
I wondered about that as well; however, I had a Mitsumi drive and it did not
have a separate controller card. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Lil' Dave" wrote in message news:hh6rc.47801$pJ1.27110@lakeread02...
