I have just bought a Pro 16 Multimedia System.

I have a problem whereby the cdrom sometakes *long* times to do accesses,
or just "hangs".

After a power off/on, the cdrom works fine. I can cd to F: and do dir
and the like.  When I try run a programme (either mantis or civilization
which reside on cdrom) the programme starts, but seems to hang (we are
talking 15-20 minutes before I get fed up). The drive light stays green.

I can, however, play audio cd's "indefinately" with no problems.  Beats me.

The only other thing of note is that the kit lacked the audio cable from
cdrom to sound card (I am going back first thing tomorrow to fix that).
I would have thought that this is not causing my problem.

Any ideas?  I'm frazzled.
