Product Support Bulletin

Subject: Epson NX Multimedia PC, CDR101 ERROR

Date: 05/18/94

PSB No: S-0176

Page(s): 1 of 1

Originator: RWS

This bulletin provides updated reinstallation information of the Multimedia software

from the “Media Vision Spectrum 16 Drivers for DOS and Windows” installation

disk. The product codes affected are: A432360, A432361, A432370, A432371.

PROBLEM:

CDR101 errors are exhibited when the CD ROM drive is accessed after the
reinstallation of the Media Vision software. The CDR101 errors are due to an OLD
version (3.06) of TSLCDR.SYS (34,239 dated 7-15-93) being installed to the hard
drive. This file is in compressed form on the installation disk and therefore is not
listed if a directory command is performed on the installation disk.

SOLUTION:

Copy the NEW version (3.12) of TSLCDR.SYS (34,975 dated 12-01-93) Included in
the root directory of the Media Vision INSTALLATION disk, to the C:\SPECTRUM
directory on the hard drive. Then RE-BOOT the PC.

To copy the NEW version of the TSLCDR.SYS file to your hard drive insert the

Media Vision installation diskette into the floppy drive 

A:, 

go to a DOS prompt C:\>,

and type in the copy command listed below, followed by pressing the 

ENTER 

key.

C:\>COPY A:\TSLCDR.SYS C:\SPECTRUM

NOTE: Copy the NEW TSLCDR.SYS file to your hard drive each time the Media

Vision installation diskette is used to reinstall the multimedia software.

VERIFICATION:

1. Re-boot your EPSON NX Multimedia PC by turning it OFF and then back ON.

2. Insert a CD ROM program disk into the CD ROM drive.

3. Go to the DOS prompt C:\>
