I can't get The New Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia (Release 6) to work
right on my CD-Rom.  I can set it up and everything but when I try to 
run it it crashes windows and my computer (I mean have-to-reset crash).
It crashes sometime between the opening animation and up to 5 minutes of
playing around with different features, and moving the mouse seems to
help it stay up.  I have a 386SX/20 and an Easy Options Double-Speed
CD-Rom.  This is the first disk that I have tried because of the
aforementioned processor speed, but I know that it works because I can
play the animations stored on the disks.  Is there a patch that I'm
missing or is there something wrong with the disk or is my computer
just plain too slow?

Thanks,
Ryan
