MediaPlayer: CD Audio Missing from "Device" Menu (6/94)

I have the PC Multimedia Upgrade Kit, and am having problems playing an audio CD. When trying to play an Audio CD from MediaPlayer the "CD Audio" option is not listed under the "Device" menu as it should be.

Try the following:
1) Go to "Drivers" Control Panel (double click "Control Panels" in
"Main," double click "Drivers" in that window.
2) When "Drivers" is open, double click on "[mci]CDAudio"
3) You should get a message that says "One CD-ROM drive detected, CD Audio
installed," or something similar.
4) You will now be able to access "CD Audio" from Media Player.

If the above does NOT work, then try the following:

1) Exit Windows
2) From the "c:\\" directory, type in:
edit c:\\windows\\mplayer.ini<cr>
3) Find the line that reads "CDAudio=x" (where "x" is some number)
4) Change the x to "17"
5) Save changes and exit (in "edit" you would hit alt-f, then "x", then
hit return or enter)
6) return to Windows and double click on Media Player. CD Audio should now
be listed.
