I recently upgraded my 4 speed CDROM to a
HIVAL CRRW (2242). I have a Compaq 9234 (Pentium 120) It records great, plays
audio, will load software, but "locks up"
when I try to launch an application that uses
the CD. I am using Win 98. Have uninstalled and reinstalled the programs without success. No conflicts listed. Any tips?
A follow for anyone interested:
I kept my old CDROM and set it up as the
slave on my secondary controller. When I
tried to run the same program with it
everything worked fine. When I checked the
CD itself it looked pretty scratched. I am
guessing that the new/faster CD (24X) is not
as "forgiving" as the old 4X. Other clean
CD based software seem to work fine on the
new CDROM.
