...because the CD-ROM drivers is part of the SCSI-adapter enumerator
driver and because that one (which you can't even replace by a real
mode driver) does not support VCD and CDi on several SCSI configuration.

I am looking for a solution for months but Microsoft does not even
document what I would call a bug (in regards of the claims for
Windows95 as a "choice" platform for MPEG). Because of that, I still
have Windows 3.11 on my hard disk as well (and I recommend you to do
so). I like Windows 95 but I hate the time it takes to Microsoft to
answer complains in newsgroups... Are they going Internet or not?!!!

Hello Ka Wai,
the softmpeg decoder come with mga does not function in win95, just
for win3.1 only, try xing 1.3 instead. But I think you are better to
download the new win95 driver ver 2.22 first.-ftp.matrox.com

I also have this problem before but I am using XING instead. You can follow
the following instruction which is included with the XING 1.3:

-------- BEGIN ---------
- Type the CONFIG.SYS file on the root of your Windows 95 boot drive,
and note the line that loads your PC's CD-ROM driver; e.g., the
following command types the config.sys file:
type c:\config.sys
And the following line loads the CD-ROM driver:
DEVICE=C:\UTILS\SCSI\ASPICD.SYS /D:ASPICD0
- Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the root of your Windows 95 boot drive,
and add a line that loads the MSCDEX program, e.g.:
<PATH>MSCDEX.EXE /D:<DRIVER>
Where <PATH> is the path to the MSCDEX program,
and <DRIVER> is the name of the driver specified in your PC's
CONFIG.SYS file, e.g.:
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:ASPICD0
- Edit the IOS.INI in your PC's Windows 95 directory, and find
the line that specifies your PC's CD-ROM driver, e.g.:
aspicd.sys ; adaptec PM driver exists
If this line appears in the [SafeList] section of the file, move it from
the [SafeList] section to the [CDUnsafe] section; e.g.: after you move
the line, your IOS.INI file should have lines that look like this:
[CDUnsafe]
aspicd.sys ; adaptec PM driver exists
- Reboot your PC.

At this point, if problems persist, try diabling 32-bit disk access:
- Run the SYSTEM control panel
- Go to the PERFORMANCE panel
- Click the "File System" button
- Go to the "Troubleshooting" panel
- Enable the option: "Disable all 32-bit Protect Mode Disk Drivers"
- Reboot your PC
----------- END -----------

Hope the above information will solve your problem, like me.

Regards,
Anthony Chong
