Re: XyWrite installation and CD-ROM drives

[Paul Ambos bejhny@xxxxxxxx]

One further caveat on the CD-ROM driver problem and TTG's flawed
installation program: A clean boot may not be enough. I installed
XyWin on a Packard Bell pentium Win95 system that had the CD-ROM
driver recorded in the BIOS. In order to avoid loading the driver
I had to enter the "setup" program, delete the driver, save the
new configuration, perform a clean boot, install XyWin, reboot
from the hard drive, reenter "setup", reinstall the driver (having
previously written down the necessary driver information), save the
new configuration again, and then proceed with rebooting Win95.

It would indeed be useful if TTG can fix this well-reported bug.
