No Splats or splots https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
No NOIDE either.
So I have NOIDE what to do.
I did find the little plug on the back of it attached to the power plug that should have stayed on the floppy drive. hmmmmmmmmmm guess that's it's problem. The CD light flashed but I didn't bother trying it. I'll have to dig "little sweety"'s floppy back out. Then have another look later.

This is great. Can remember couple three months ago The term NOIDE came up and I thought Mosaic couldn't talk right and tonight I understand what the QoH meant when she said NOIDE in the context she used. Just checking in. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Calling it a night. Before I do, thought to leave you another tweak. Take a look at Control Panel>System>Performance Tab>File System>CD-ROM Tab. You should have that set on Quad speed or better. Notice how much the supplemental cache size is. As I remember, it's only 1028. There's a way to increase that so the CD-ROM and CD-RW will access faster. (This'll help prevent buffer under-runs also with burning CD's). And since you have 256 RAM, you've got plenty for this. (Only use if you have 128 or better).
Here's the reg hack--just copy into Notepad (no dotted lines!), save into a folder, rename the extension .reg, r-click and Merge.
---------------------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CD-ROM]
"Required Pause Tolerance"=hex:e7,13,00,00
---------------------------
Now go back into the CD-ROM Tab. Whoa! Set for single. Scroll it down to 'Quad Speed or better' and apply it. Reboot. You now have a 4096 cache. CD's will read/access better.
Ya'll have a good night. See ya' tomorrow. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I'm gettin' sore from all this tweakin'. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Thank you, bistro. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Night.
Now that is nice bistro. Going to have to chase down a few more of those put in a folder and label them and burn them.
Night all.

OK. I'm reviewing. I forgot about the CAB files, Mosaic.
I looked again in Start> Run> C:\Windows\Options and get this message:
Cannot find the file named 'C\Windows\options'{or one of its componants}
Make sure the path and file name are correct and that all required libraries are available.
I went to Start> Settings> Folder Options> View ...show all files first to be sure it was checked.
So can I make my own folder in Windows and copy them to it? Then do the reg thing so it finds them?
The : omission was a typo. I even tried with a capital O in Options.
C:\Windows\options is what I tried.
I'll do this now. Thanks Mosaic. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
