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. Ta Ray ( From New Zealand )
