[RESOLVED] CD-ROM

[Tammy]

I have an old 486dx. I cannot locate the driver for the cd-rom manufactured by monitronics. (model # 8000 AT) Most all of the componets in this computer were manufactured by this company which is no longer in business. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

IF U HAVE WINDOWS 95/98 SEE IF THE CD-ROMIS REMOVEABLE IT SHOULD BE IF SO AND U FEALITS WORTH TO PAY ABOUT $30 FOR A NEW CD-ROM DRIVE THEN THRY BY A NEW ONE AND IT SHOULD WORK BUT ITS ALSO A GOOD IDEA TO CHECK WITH SOME ONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT COUMPUTERS

I'm assuming you're running win 3.1, if so your CD will use mscdex, a cd driver that loads as part of autoexec.bat or config.sys. The driver can be found anywhere; respond if you need help on the autoexec.bat or config.sys files.

See ya

(if you're actually running win95, it should recognize the drive when it loads without any drivers)
