SYMPTOMS
MSCDEX won't load with a Trantor CD-ROM driver.



CAUSE
MSCDEX can't find the Trantor CD-ROM driver TSLCDR.SYS (commonly used with Adaptec 1542b SCSI cards) when you have a very large CONFIG.SYS file (for example, greater than 100 lines) and you use a MS-DOS 6.0 multiple configuration menu.

As a result, MSCDEX won't load for this device driver.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, decrease the size of the CONFIG.SYS file or don't use a multiple configuration menu.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.

The products included here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
