Problem with DVD-ROM drive on Gateway Solo 9100XL

Greg,
I also just got a 9100XL with DVD. After receiving the machine, I set up an
NT partition and a Windows 95/98 partition. This meant reloading Windows 95.
I reinstalled the driver for the DVD (called "DVD Play"), but I had no luck
getting it to see a DVD disk. It turns out that I had to amnually install
the c-Cube DIVA driver (MPEG2 hardware decoder) from the system CD. Once I
did that, it worked. but I had no sound. I had to go into the multimedia
from Control Panel and put a check mark in the box for zoomed video. All
worked well until I "upgraded" to Win98. Then there was no way I could get
sound from the DVD. I called Gateway tech support and it turns out that I
had to remove the plug and play Win98 driver for the Yamaha sound card and
install the Win95 driver. This is the only one that works with the Cyber
9397/C-Cube Diva/Yamaha combination.

Hope all this helps you as you try to get yours working OK.

Cheers!
