Hi,
Can someone please help me,
I have recently so called upgraded to WIN98, I`m haveing some very funny CD
ROM stuff happening.
Firstly, My CDROM doesnt appear as a `device` even though the icon does
appear in `my computer`
Also, For a truely bizzare reason, I cant load Encarta 98 at all infact not
even Encata 94. The directory folders appear, in explorer and `my computer`
but when they are clicked on, they are non existant ie ( cant find folder )
But some are there??!! and do run
I have other CDs that work fine i.e Cinemania Explorepedia and others.
Can someone please help.

I have changed CDROM divers to no difference..
Bare in mind I am using drivers from config.sys and autoexec.bat.
Also everything was ok from Windows 95. not from 98 what gives.

Thanks people. I would be very gratefull for any assistance.
