Good to know. I have to think about if I will still support win 98 either.
Thank you

Just a guess.  But it could be poor or a lack thereof of support for ATAPI 
under Win98.  Win98 and below always tended to be unpredictable at best when

running of the CD.  For example html files (simple html with simple pics) 
would often send the CD drive into an endless loop without loading to the 
screen (though the broswer could be found running in the list of active 
programs).

Might not be the answer - but it's an issue I faced years ago time and time 
again.  I no longer support anything below Win 2000.
