CD-ROM drive runs slowly due to improperly optimized CD-ROM drive.
Cause:
'Supplemental cache size' and 'Optimize access pattern for' settings are incorrect.
Solution:
Open the 'System' icon, click on the 'Performance' tab, and click 'File System'. Adjust the 'Supplemental cache size' to large and 'Optimize access pattern for' settings to match the speed of the CD-ROM drive.
1) Open the 'System' icon, click the 'Performance' tab, and click 'File System...'. (The 'File System Properties' dialog box appears.)
Select the 'Performance' tab
2) Click the 'CD-ROM' tab, and view the 'Supplemental cache size' and 'Optimize access pattern for' options in the 'Settings' group.

3) If the 'Supplemental cache size' is not set at the maximum, increase the cache size by moving the 'Supplemental cache size' slider completely to the right.
4) If the 'Optimize access pattern for' does not match the speed type of your CD-ROM drive, select the correct CD-ROM drive speed from the 'Optimize access pattern for' drop-down list box that matches your CD-ROM drive.
NOTE: For some CD-ROM drives, the speed type of the drive is marked on the front panel of the drive unit. Refer to the CD-ROM drive user's manual to determine the speed type of the drive unit.
5) Click 'OK' to close the 'File Systems Properties' dialog box.
6) Click 'Close' to exit the 'System Properties' dialog box. (The 'System Settings Change' dialog box appears.)
7) Click 'Yes' to restart Windows 95.
