I have problems when mounting several CD's one after another. Here is an example. I can insert an Art Explosion CD from Nova Development Corporation then eject it by dragging the CD icon to the trash. When I insert another CD from the Art Explosion CD, the computer will crash or the previous CD will show up. Why?
CD-ROM ToolKit would sometimes not recognize difference editions in series of CDs. This was noticed in "Art Explosion" from Nova Development. If one CD was inserted immediately after another was ejected, CD-ROM toolkit would not notice the CD had changed and present cached data from the previous CD.

FWB recommends updating your version of CDT to 2.0.6 , 2.5.1, or newer.

Since the CD-ROM Toolkit from all of our CDs are OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) versions or lite versions customers can not download an upgrade to 2.0.6 or 2.5.1. They will need to call FWB and purchase an upgrade.

WORKAROUNDS:
In between each Art Explosion CD put in the Power Computing CD.

Nova tells their customers to uncheck the Fast box in the CD-ROM Toolkit control panel.

If the customer has CD-ROM Toolkit 2.0 or higher, open the drive setup window in CD-ROM Toolkit and uncheck Remember Static Images.
