installing manually a cd driver help needed

LIVO · #1 09-09-07, 00:54

I have an old computer on which I use Windows 3.1 fopr wordprocessing etc.
I want to install the driver for an Acer CD drive, that I intend to search for and download.
I am told that as I am using Windows 3.1 that it will not install automatically
I am told that I must go ino the auto exe and type in a line or two.

Can anyone, please, tell me where I may find the driver to download
and also how I can go to the correct place (auto exe?) and install it

There are two files on your computer that will need to be changed, AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. You will need a plain DOS text editor to make the changes, one that does not create special characters in a text file. If you look at this it will give you the basic idea of what you need to do. However I am pretty certain that Acer will not be able to supply you with the DOS drivers you need as Windows 3.1 is so old.
