- Yep, that's the problem. However, one would think It would just ignore
- the cdrom if no MSCDEX was loaded and not freak out. However this may
- be to the fact that Windows95 assigns the cdrom a drive letter without
- using mscdex and this is throwing executor for a loop......I will load
- mscdex in my autoexec anyways to solve this......
-
- One note: Loading mscdex, mouse drivers , etc into your autoexec will
- slow down Win95 (although it shouldn't be noticable on a fast
- machine). It forces Win95 into a "Compatibility Paging Mode" that
- makes it work with unidentifable real-mode drivers, etc....
