When I play games on my recently installed W98 PC, all disk based games take ages to load. What seems to happen is I click on the desktop icon, the cd drive spins up, the splash screen appears, screen goes black, CD drive goes quiet and then a 10 minute wait for the logos or intro video to start (accompanied by the CD spinning up again). This happens for games like Driver, Streets of Sim City, Kingpin... the thing is I've tried two DVD drives - a 2006 Emprex drive and a 1999 drive (not sure what make) and it does it on both. Both will load up the contents of CD and install games just fine, it's just playing them. This hasn't happened on my other W98 builds.
Any ideas?
