Hey all,
	I bought my P90 with an Acer 4X CD-ROM. I got the 625 drviers
for Dos and windows 95 DOES recognise the CD-Rom which is fine, I get
access to my CD's and can transfer files but what I can't do is play
music CD's properly.

	Ok, a little more explaining here. I put the CD in, it
autorecognises it fine and starts playing, but when I got to click on
either, next/previous track or seek, OOPS, let's hang for a while, ok,
next track comes up. Now this is getting annoying. I have a copy of Win
NT 4 Beta 2 and after installing this, the CD works great but I don't
use NT much since I don't have much memory to keep from the system
swapping all the time.

	My question, what is my problem in 95? Can I use the driver from
win NT in 95 and if yes, how do I know which driver to copy over and how
do I install it? Otherwise, where can I find a newer WINDOWS driver for
the Acer CD-ROM since ftp.acer.com only has updates for the DOS drivers.

Thanx in advance, and all answers welcome except for the ditch 95
responses.

Steve
