Installed IDE CD-ROM drive does not work due to hardware resource conflict.
Cause:
Hardware resource conflict between the CD-ROM and another device prevents the CD-ROM drive from operating properly.
Solution:
Open the 'Device Manager' and select the CD-ROM driver. Change the DMA settings for the device conflicting with CD-ROM to unassigned DMA values and restart Windows 95.
1) Open the 'Device Manager' and select the 'View devices by type' radio button.
