Topic: I want to play a CD with Microsoft Windows Media Player
When you insert a music CD, the Media Bar™ software automatically launches
to play your CD. When the Media Bar is running, the Windows Media Player
does not have access to the CD. Close Media Bar to use Microsoft Windows
Media Player. If you do not hear any music, check all your volume controls.
Topic: When I click an application icon, a message such as “You must insert
the application CD into your drive” appears and the software does not start
Some titles require specific files that are located on the application’s CD-
ROM. Insert the disc and try starting the program again.
Check to make sure you inserted the CD-ROM with the label side facing up.
