Hi all,

I have a Panasonic CR588 32x IDE CD-ROM after returning the CR586 model. I
have exactly the same problem with the newer one.
I am using Windows 98.

1. When I insert an audio CD the whole computer stalls, I cannot move the
mouse.
2. When I play the CD the system stalls as above.
3. When I skip tracks the CD-Player (any I am using) loses the information
and it says "data or disc not loaded" and then it flicks back again.
4. I can't fast forward in audio tracks like I can on a stereo or like I
could on my old 6x Panasonic.
5. On some CDR media the drive whirrs up and down and takes ages to read the
disc.
6. I can't use Audiograbber ASPI or Easy CD-DA Extractor 2.75 to rip audio,
it says cannot find ASPI driver. I have the latest Adaptec ones installed
because I have a CDR as well.

Can these problems be fixed or are they just characteristics of the
Panasonic 32x CD-ROMs? Does the same problem exist with the 24x? I was under
the impression that Panasonics were the best.

Thanks, please email suggestions.
