TITLE   :Windows 98 Resource Kit Beta Release: AutoRun Returns Errors
PRODUCT :Microsoft Press
PROD/VER:
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:kbdocerr

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows 98 Resource Kit, Beta Release 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you insert the CD-ROM from the Microsoft Windows 98 Resource Kit, Beta
Release, into your CD-ROM drive, a splash screen offers you the following
options:

 - Interactive CD Sampler

 - Cool Video Clips

 - Browse This CD

However, if you click any of the three options listed above, you may see an error
message as follows:

   Please reinsert the Windows 98 CD-ROM.

This message will repeat until you click Cancel.

CAUSE
=====

The splash screen is loaded by an Autorun program that runs automatically when
you insert the Windows 98 Resource Kit Beta Release CD-ROM. However, the Autorun
program was designed for the final release of Windows 98. The Resource Kit
CD-ROM is set up slightly differently than the final release of Windows 98, to
accommodate the Resource Kit utilities and extra information.

Because of the differences between the Resource Kit CD-ROM and the final release
of Windows 98, the Autorun program does not recognize the Resource Kit CD-ROM as
a Windows 98 CD-ROM.

WORKAROUND
==========

To load the "Interactive CD Sampler," open Windows Explorer, select the Windows
98 Resource Kit Beta Release CD-ROM, and then open the following file:

   \CDSample\Sampler.exe

To load the "Cool Video Clips," open Windows Explorer, select the Windows 98
Resource Kit Beta Release CD-ROM, and then open any of the files in the
following directory:

   \CDSample\Videos

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Windows 98
Resource Kit, Beta Release, ISBN 1-57231-878-3.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This behavior also occurs on certain systems with the release version of the
Microsoft Windows 98 Resource Kit, ISBN 1-57231-644-6. This problem only occurs
if you are using the Windows 98 Resource Kit CD-ROM on a Windows NT 4.0 system.
