I reached my decision. I really enjoy playing old games on HELIOS. However, I dislike the loud noise from my 52X CD drive. I used a free program once to reduce the speed (as I set it), but I can't recall its name. It would be great if someone could help me locate it, because it's what stops me from playing more on HELIOS during weekends.

Consider adjusting your DVD drive speed for quieter operation.

I don’t have any fresh thoughts, yet I recall playing games on my Windows 98 system and found it tough to chat when the disk was spinning.

I’m not familiar with any software, but consider using a less fast CD drive.

Requires XP or newer. I used to run an older version too. I have a solid 52x (or 54x, not sure which) CD-RW drive. It’s white, so I plan to swap it out later for a better match. I only own those 52x drives, no 54x ones.

You have a collection of ATAPI commands to adjust drive speed. It’s possible to build a script that automates this process. You can also install DriveSpeed 2000 or comparable software, which offers similar functionality. More versions are available on the CD-ROM page at http://www.cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdr...ls_4.shtml.
