I am having Problems during installation / recieve error "xxxxxx.xxx not found" what can I do?


This error message is usually the result of your computer using MS-DOS (16 bit) drivers instead of Windows (32 bit) drivers for your CD-ROM drive.

To check what drivers your drive is using:


  • Open the Control Panel (either click on the My Computer icon or click on the Start button followed by Settings, then Control Panel).

  • In the Control Panel window, double-click on the System icon then click on the Performance tab.

  • You should now see a summary of the performance status of your computer. One of the lines should say "File System: 32-bit" and the last line should say "Your system is configured for optimal performance."

If you see a message saying "Drive X is using MS-DOS compatibility mode," then you will need to contact your system vendor to obtain and install 32-bit drivers for your CD-ROM drive.

What is your experience of Virtual CD/DVD drives?

I have a couple of virtual drives that I use all the time.

I have one installed but have never used it.

I'm aware of them but have never needed one.

What's a virtual drive?
