John, try Johnson Lam's CDROM binaries. Before I installed them my CDROM

You will need both QCDROM Driver and SHSUCDX CDROM Interface Driver. When
you download the files put all of them in c:\fdos
I wrote on April 15 (see original text below) about a memory allocation
error that I was getting on 3 computers running the very-little-modified
installation created by the bootable install CD. The error *seemed* to be
heavily related to SHSUCDX -- it would disappear altogether on 2 of 3
