My CDRom is Creative IDE 2x ( too out-of-date), when I intend to install
Visual Studio, I find the CDROM cannot read the long filename format, so
the installation is terminated. I try to update the CD-ROM driver, but the
problem still exist, so , can anyone help me to correct this problem
please?

Thanks in advance

Two things:
1) One version of Visual Studio selling in the Golden doesn't work, because it
   truncates the LFN during 'remastering'... :P
   
2) Do not use a real mode driver (don't load the CDROM driver in dos ) as it doesn't
   undestand LFN.
   
Hope it helps! :>

Best regards,
Richard
