Pulsar or CD drive but not both

Lugian · Post by **Lugian** » Thu Apr 18, 2002 2:21 am

My CD-ROM drive stops working when I start up the Pulsar 3.01 software. This is on Win2K (using a Standard PC HAL) and a Pulsar Mk.1

Windows reports a Drive not Ready error if Pulsar is running. Stop pulsar and the drive is fine again.

Kinda hard to use any sample CDs.

Please, does anyone know how to fix this ?

how to close pulsar browser window if this happends even with startup project in background?

solution is to make "light" startup project with only drivers and micromixer included or no project background or no cw's card in computer - use another card(s) which already have all necessery drivers (gsif), 88,2khz/24bit stuff, support...
or use win98 - i choose that (for now)

Thanks, Subhuman. I'm glad there is a simple solution.

I do wish that Creamware could have written software that conforms to the standards of the host operating system....
Like, only locking hardware while its using it.

Anyway, thanks
