I installed win 98 Upgrade, and now my CD-ROM ( a Mitsumi 8x, FX810) will
not play music CD's anymore, at least not properly, you put in a CD and it
will play about 1 second of the first track, then freeze up (like the whole
system) for about 3 seconds, then skip to the next track on the disc and
play about 1 second then freeze, and repeat the whole cycle until the end of
the disc. The CD-ROM worked fine before the installation of 98, I have
since downloaded the latest drivers (no help), tried different CD players
(downloaded some shareware ones, no help), cleaned the lens of the CD-ROM
(no help). I've tried different music CD's, nothing.
The Strange thing is, is that it's just music CD's nothing else, it will
install programs just fine off the CD-ROM, it will play video's (like the
ones on the 98 CD) just fine, no skipping, nothing, just music CD's won't
play, oh, and it's not the intro play settings either, I checked that too.
So if anyone has any solutions that I could try, I would be very
appreciative to hear from you, either post here, or e-mail me directly at

Check the DMA settings. I had to disable DMA for the Cd to get it
to work right.
