Subject: CD-ROM Won't Read

A friend has a P166 with Win95 and a 2x CD-ROM drive. He bought IBM Simply
Speaking Gold and found it would not install. He can view the directory
listing on the CD, including setup.exe, but when he double-clicks setup.exe,
he gets a message to the effect that the file does not exist or cannot be
found.

IBM sent him a new CD. Same result. Then he got a CD with a destop publishing
program and it installed fine.

My friend speculates that the 2x drive is too old, not good enough for Simply
Speaking. Is such a thing possible? Is there any possibility of other hardware
concerns playing a role in this problem?

Why would the CD drive work with everything but one program?
