- If you don't have MSCDEX loaded and your CD-ROM isn't a SCSI device
- then Executor just won't be able to access it. You *can* run MSCDEX
- under Windows, but the default is to not do so.

- There's nothing we can do, unless I misunderstand and you already have

- The screen artifacts problem is very bad indeed (showstopper). We'll
- get it fixed before releasing beta1.
