The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows with Multimedia Extensions version 1.0

Some of the CD-ROM drives provided with IBM PS/2s are supplied with the IBMCDROM.SYS driver dated 2-7-90. This driver does not work correctly with Windows with Multimedia Extensions and the MSCDEX.EXE file provided with Windows with Multimedia Extensions. An updated IBMCDROM.SYS dated 6-1-90 corrects these problems. This driver can be obtained from your IBM dealer or field representative.

Please note that MSCDEX.EXE version 2.2 or later provided with Windows with Multimedia Extensions must be used to run Windows with Multimedia Extensions.

The IBM products included here are manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
