SYMPTOMS
========
Setup for Encarta may stop responding (hang) immediately after the initial Setup
screen displays if you are using an NEC CD-ROM drive.
RESOLUTION
==========
NEC CD-ROM drives can be configured for use with either SCSI1 or SCSI2 adapters.
In order for Encarta Setup to run, this setting must be correctly set on the
CD-ROM drive. If it is not, Setup will hang when trying to test the transfer
rate and CPU consumption of the CD-ROM drive.
To confirm that the CD-ROM drive is not configured for the correct SCSI adapter:
1. From an MS-DOS prompt, change the drive to the CD-ROM.
2. Do a directory listing of the drive and note the files and directories listed
in the root directory.
3. Change the directory to one of the subdirectories on the CD-ROM. Do another
directory listing. If the CD-ROM is not configured correctly, the directory
listing will show the root directory and not the contents of the
subdirectory.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Consult your CD-ROM drive's installation or user's guide for more information
about configuring for use with SCSI1 or SCSI2 adapters. If your CD-ROM drive
came with the Multimedia upgrade kit, contact NEC or Media Vision:
