SYMPTOMS

When you start Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 99, the introductory audio played when the Home screen is displayed may be broken up or choppy.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if a CD-ROM changer is installed in your computer and both Encarta Encyclopedia 99 compact discs are inserted in the CD-ROM changer at the same time.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, use either of the following methods.

  • Insert only one of the Encarta Encyclopedia compact discs in the CD-ROM changer at any one time. When you are prompted to insert the other Encarta Encyclopedia CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, remove the Encarta CD-ROM that is currently in the CD-ROM changer before you insert the other disc.

  • Disable the display of the Home screen when you start Encarta Encyclopedia 99. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Start Encarta Encyclopedia 99.
    2. Click Options, and then click Settings.
    3. Click to clear the "Display Home screen when I start Encarta Encyclopedia" check box.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 99.
