Starting Media Player Plays Audio CD

 * }

Q134359

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
When you start Media Player, an audio CD in the CD-ROM drive may begin playing.

CAUSE
This problem can occur with older NEC CD-ROM drives connected to a Trantor SCSI adapter. These CD-ROM drives have a BIOS revision that is not completely compatible with the Windows 95 Trantor driver.

RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:

 Upgrade the CD-ROM drive to a firmware revision of 2.2 or later. Please contact the drive manufacturer for information about a firmware upgrade.  Prevent Windows 95 from playing audio CDs automatically. For information about this method, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: "Q126025 Preventing Windows 95 from Playing Audio CDs Automatically" Load the real-mode driver that came with the CD-ROM drive.

To use a real-mode driver instead of the Windows 95 protected-mode driver, load the driver in the Config.sys file, and load the Mscdex.exe file included with Windows 95 in the Autoexec.bat file following the manufacturer's instructions.

NOTE: If these drivers were already installed when you installed Windows 95, they may still be in the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files, but be remarked out.
