I have been having problems getting the CDROM to recognize music CDs. System CDs such as Windows98SE install and my restoration CDs are recognized. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers for this, but no change. I did notice in the Device Mgr that there is a conflict with the standard floppy driver as well as primary and secondary IDE controllers. I cannot uninstall these, but wonder if this is why I’m having problems. I have in the past been able to play any CD, but within recent months can’t get it to work. The following is a general profile of my system taken from the Belarc Advisor:
Windows 98 SE (build 4.10.2222)
c: (on drive N) 6.84 GB 3.14 GB free
W98.SE.IGMP.SECURITY.UPD (Windows 98 Second Edition IGMP Security Update)

Thanks!
