Problems Reading Your WebCD CD Master
![]() |
If your disc is ejected or an error message is reported in reading it, or you have random problems accessing files from it, the problem may be that your CD-ROM drive is not well calibrated to read recordable discs. |

If there are difficulties in reading back the disc on DOS or Windows 3.1 system, it may be that the version of MSCDEX on that system is an older one with a known bug. Versions of MSCDEX prior to 2.23 had a problem in dealing with filenames which contain illegal characters. If a directory contains a filename with an illegal character in it, you will be able to see all the files by doing a DIR from DOS, and even open the illegally-named file. But one or more files listed after that one may not be accessible or may give errors. MSCDEX 2.23 appears to have fixed this bug. A similar problem has been reported with a third-party MSCDEX-type extension as well. |
