My brother and I both had a problem recently with Windows 98 doing its BSOD thing in DirectX applications, and then proceeding to corrupt the registry after rebooting. 
I looked all over the net for a solution, finding several EXACT matches (wow, that doesn't happen very often) for the VXD error I was getting, right down to the last number, but NOBODY had a solution, other than the same old worn-out "check your BIOS settings," "check for spyware," "do a virus scan," "check your system temperature," and the ever-so-hated "reinstall Windows." Like a broken record.
The solution? Reinstalling my previous video drivers. Apparently, the latest ForceWare update is a little screwed, yet it's WHQL certified. NO ONE was able to figure that one out.
The moral of the story? It's ALWAYS the simplest solution.  |

Yeah, that really is a titanic pain in the ass when the answer's so simple. I had the same problem (and when I got the answer, the same reaction) too.  |

It amazes me how simple the answer was the whole time.
That's funny. Noone else told you? I dont even use it! I just rip all my CDs as MP3s and listen to them that way. It's much easier than doing the CD shuffle thing. |

Can you play them in a CD player like a boom box?
Yeah, I have absolutely no problems playing them in any other audio type device such as that and walkmans. It's just a PC I'm having a problem with. It works fine with older enhanced CD's but not ones that have come out in the past ohhhh....two years or so. |

Ugh! 
I can never get these to play on my computer. Not the feature, that works fine. I couldn't care less about that though.
Whenever I try to listen to it like I would a normal cd, I can't because it wont list the tracks. Like, I'll put the cd in, add that directory to winamp, and it will stay blank. I have a lot of cd's that are like this. I've tried in in Media Player too and I got the same problem. Is there a way to fix this without downloading some thrid party software?
I just want to listen to it normally. |
