Ok, so i have this system that's set up on my desk and all it's used for is generally internet radio through Windows Media Player 6.1 and making floppies for my old systems, but has developed an really odd issue.
When i am using Windows 95 (i have re-installed using my OSR 2 disc and also Win95A disc), the CD-Rom acts totally funny. I have used two drives (the original HP drive and a Sony 52x CD-RW Drive i just pulled from my Dell Dimension 9100 in full working order), but when i go to read a file over 2MB it stalls, and when i go to play an audio CD it randomly just changes tracks without me telling the CD Player app to do it.
When i boot into DOS with a floppy, or even when i installed Windows 3.1 on an extra hard drive had, the CD-Rom drive works just fine (both the stock and the CD-RW drive)
I have re-installed Windows 95 three times, and am out of ideas with this.
Here are the system specs (and why i dont put 98 or 2000 on it hah)
P1 - 166MHz MMX
16MB Ram (need to break down and upgrade it to it's max 64MB
2GB original hard drive (more than enough space for what i use it for)
16x CD-ROM (stock) or 52x CD-RW (want to go back to stock since it matches the case)
Crystal Audio built in (sucks, but only two expansion slots)
S3 Trio64V+ (1MB Memory)
USB 1.0 (works with practically nothing, it's so finacy(sp) but im guessing Win95 USB support doesnt help either)
So any ideas why Windows 95 would be causing this issue? all i have installed is IE 5.5, WinImage, WinZip, Windows Media Player, and WinAmp.
