So your DECTalk driver refuses to be installed once the VIDE-CDD driver has been installed, did I understand you correctly? What about changing the order in which your CONFIG.SYS loads the drivers? Load first the DECTalk driver (no conflicts) and after that, VIDE-CDD. If they can't coexist at all that's trickier. You could also do what Rugxulo suggested: >Can't you just edit a CONFIG.SYS menu option to let you optionally>boot >without DecTalk when needing to access a physical CD-ROM? About the FreeDOS drivers, as far as I know, FreeDOS uses GCDROM and UDVD2 as CD/DVD drivers. GCDROM was designed for SATA but works with IDE too apparently. You can try them both and see how to it goes, here are some links: GCDROMhttp://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/1.3/drivers/gcdrom.zip UDVD2:https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/1.3/drivers/udvd2.zip On Friday, February 2, 2024 at 02:01:21 AM GMT-3, Karen Lewellen via Freedos-user <freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: Humor is an individual thing. The package I use incorporates ms DOS 7.1 with a number of utilities updated from 6.22. I have scores of reasons for preferring the package, using a full sized USB keyboard as I am doing now to write this email is just one of them. Greater memory and hard drive capacity, at least in my personal experience, 7.1 is the DOS infrastructure under Windows 98 se, even broader processor speed. but that is me. I am a firm believer in the Personal in personal computer, would not expect another person to make choices based on my own..we are different people after all. Kare
