When you press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot and then try to use the Sound Blaster
or Media Vision Pro Audio "SCSI" CD-ROM drive, Windows 95 stops responding
(hangs).
Back to the top
If your system hangs and you have to press CTRL+ALT+DEL, the system may not
find the CD-ROM drive after rebooting. If this occurs, trying to use the
CD-ROM causes the system to hang again.

To work around this problem, press the reset button on your computer or
turn off the computer and then turn it on again. To avoid this problem,
load only the protected-mode drivers for the Sound Blaster or Media Vision
Pro Audio on-board "SCSI" interface proprietary CD-ROM devices.
Back to the top
If Windows 95 is relying on real-mode drivers for the Sound Blaster or
Media Vision Pro Audio on-board CD-ROM interface, sometimes CTRL+ALT+DEL
does not reset this interface. If so, you no longer have access to anything
on the CD-ROM because its drivers were unable to load.
