It used to read the same CD's - I have since upgraded my PC and re installed the Windows 98 a few times.
Before, my two games Y's 1&2 - and Monster Lair worked fine , but now iy just stalls, finally pops up the music menu of wich no music will play.
I tried everything i could think of , shuffled around the drive settings in the ini file. here's the error from PCE log:
-----------------

Drives L and N are Virtual drives PCE will see all the tracks when loaded there, but game will not load

Drives D and E are the true drives - D (1) had the CD in it

Thanks in advance for your time and help

It's understandable, but people here are also tired of answering the same question for the umpteenth time. There are countless topics about CD-ROM issues which have been answered on the forum. Do a search.

Well Kaminari, I would understand if you better told me that you are bored with the Magic Engine scene , or that you (hopefully) are not a part if the tech support - as am proud to be a paying Magic Engine customer , and this would be a customer - related question.
In any case , I already looked as much as I could , was not able to find any answers before posting this message which was the first (and last) time i will post here. It was not my intention to be a pain in the a$$ to anyone.
I do have other computers in my LaN , and currently am playing my CD games on another PC that has an XP os.
Thank for your (dis) interest

Angelo

Well, Then tell me why I searched for "no sound with cd-rom" and got 203 posts?

Doing this took me 10 seconds... Afterwards I just browsed those posts for like 2 minutes and got ALL the info I needed...

Man, all this hard work... Im tired...

Aren't we all?

Two posts and quite a bit of an attitude already. Man you've got some nerve. I'm not part of the dev team and I do free tech support in my spare time. Guess you haven't searched hard enough for similar posts. Besides, it would have helped if you specified some basics info like your number of drives and which letters they're assigned to.

Anyway:

1. Make sure you've got a System Card 3.
2. Make sure you've got the latest ASPI layer for your OS.
3. Check your ini file for the following options:

Code:
  ;
  ; CD-ROM audio input line
  ; --
  ;   0 -> first  audio input line [default]
  ;   1 -> second audio input line
  ;   ...
  ;
  ;   (see the log.txt file to find out what are the line numbers)
  ;

cd_audio_input_line=


Leave the line blank.

Code:
  ;
  ; CD-ROM drive
  ; --
  ;   (Windows 9x/ME only)
  ;
  ;   0 -> first  CD-ROM drive [default]
  ;   1 -> second CD-ROM drive
  ;   ...
  ;

drive=0


0 is you first CD drive, 1 your second drive, etc. Replace 0 with the appropriate value if needed.

Code:
  ;
  ; CD-ROM drive letter
  ; --
  ;   (Windows 2000/XP only)
  ;
  ;   D:
  ;   E:
  ;   ...
  ;

drive_letter=


Leave the line blank. Specifying a letter won't work on Win98 and will conflict with the previous option.
