There's one question <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/left-236578" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LEFT">LEFT</a>. Does anybody know if there'd be a way to get it to read a 1998 game DVD under Windows 95? I was hoping somebody might have an answer.<br/><br/>The DVD-ROM drive is the Samsung SD-612. I need to find a Windows 95 driver for it.<br/><br/>The game I want to be able to get this drive to detect and run is "Riven: The Sequel To Myst".

If you are running the game from inside Windows 95, then you don't need any driver.<br/>That possibly could be true. I'll likely save the drivers in case I do need them, and try to get Riven to run without them first. Riven isn't for DOS, and won't run without Windows active. From what you're telling me, it should detect a CD without a driver. Will the drive detect a DVD without a driver?
