How to get cd-rom to work in DOS???

I have a am486dx4 120mhz with 24 megs ram.  No sound card.  Creative 8X cd-rom. It has a 1.2 gig hard-drive. I have just installed MS_DOS 6.22 on the machine and it works fine.  I have tried numerous drivers and programs that try and configure dos to recognize the cdrom, none work correctly.  I have a copy of mscdex.exe residing on c:\mscdex.exe.  Nothing I do seems to work.  Any suggestions will be a life saver.  No windows95/98/nt will be put on this machine, just DOS.  Thank you for your suggestions.

Exact ways to configure autoexec.bat and config.sys to work will be necessary, I am fairly unfamiliar with DOS.
Thanks again

thanks for your answer it was right,
the real problem was that the cdrom's jumper
was set to master and I needed it to be set to
slave.  I tried your solution and it did not work the
first time.  I then switched the jumper and it worked
perfect.  Thank you very much for your quick response.
