You should check your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to be sure that, upon system startup, the network is installed before your CD-ROM drive is installed. Within your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, the line that applies to the network must precede the line that applies to the CD

Applications that depend on MS-DOS standard interfaces are compatible. These applications can read files on your CD-ROM disc just as they would on any floppy disk. However, they cannot write information to the CD-ROM drive.}{\plain \f3\lang1033

You do not need to run a special program each time you start your computer. When you install your CD-ROM drive and run the SETUP program, your AUTOEXEC.BAT file is updated to reflect the presence of the CD-ROM drive. Your computer uses the information i
