Now, however, even after adding 16 megs of RAM and another hard drive, it no longer has what it takes to run the software that I'm interested in - such as "James Cameron's Titanic" - which recommends a 200 Mhz CPU. It had a 1.2-gigabyte hard drive, 16 megabytes of RAM, 8X CD-ROM and a 120 Mhz Pentium CPU. When I bought my IBM Aptiva computer two or three years ago it could handle the software that was out there. To do this, just right-click on the CD drive icon and select the choice "Auto Run" that pops up on CDs with software that includes this feature. You can either solve the problem by temporarily disabling the virus checker while using CD-ROMs or just put up with the glitch and run them manually. Virus checkers can poll the CD drive at the same time your operating system is checking it for any recent commands such as auto run, causing a conflict. It's likely that it's no virus, but McAfee's own virus-checking software that's to blame. dat files from them and ran my Virus Scan but no virus was detected. Gateway suggested that I call McAfee to inquire about some sort of virus. Audio CDs still automatically start to play when inserted, but not the CD-ROMs.
