Windows 3.1: CD audio MCI driver not installed
SoftwareNow I know what you’re thinking: Who plays CDs anymore? And on a Windows for Workgroups machine!? These are legitimate questions that deserve an answer.
If you launch Media Player or Creative CD, you might get this error:
CD not inserted into drive or CD Audio MCI driver not installed
To solve:
- Launch Control Panel
- Open Drivers
- Click Add, and select [MCI] CD Audio
- Supply your Windows 3.1x installation disks
If all goes well, you’ll get this confirmation notice:
Redbook CD Audio Configuration
One CDROM drive was detected. Installation is complete
I haven’t ever had to do this before. My hunch is that I installed Windows before setting up SHSUCDX
(an MSCDEX
replacement). Had that been done before, Windows may have already installed the driver during setup.
