I also have the DAK CD-ROM package and have noticed the same problem with
the CD player software.  Interestingly when I first got the package I had
an XT system and the CD player software worked fine.  When I upgraded my
machine to a 386, I noticed that the problem surfaced. If someone knows a 
solution to this I'd like to hear it as well.  I think maybe I'll call DAK
technical support about this one tomorrow.  If I find out anything, I'll post
it.

I saw another CD Player software package in the CD-ROM Inc. catalog a while
ago but it was expensive (over $100).  I'd also like to get my hands on a
CD Player that was made for Windows 3.0.
