Hi, I'm new at this so would appreciate the help. I ordered and got the Lite-on cdrw 12x10x32 12101B from newegg. I got it in my computer, (Win98), on the 2nd channel as a slave after my cd player. I started up the computer and it never asked for the driver, everything looks ok in device manager properties tab for the cdrw, but I haven't used the floppy disk with the install.exe on it. Is there any benefit in running the install.exe or should I skip it? Update: I set the cdrw to DMA like my cd player is, and just tried to play a music cd, the POS win media player ver. 7 popped up a box saying they have determined that they cant play the music cd digitally so the wow effects, bass, etc wont work. Anyone else run into this? Thanks.
Edit-I tried to play the music cd on the cd player and thats when I see the WMP message box, it may have been like that all along, I just never got the "can't read digitally from your player" message before. BTW, DMA box checked or not for the cd-rw makes no difference.
