Compaq Presario CD problem
I have an older version Compaq Presario with an AMD-K6 CPU 475 MHz running
Windows 98. With 64 MB memory. I am unable to get work or entertainment CD programs to run. How can I determine what is wrong with the CD player? |

By "run" do you mean to automatically run when put into the drive? If so,
try going into Device Manager in Windows and make sure Auto Insert Notification is enabled for the CD ROM drive. HH "Ronald Smyth" wrote in message nk.net...

No. Even if I click on it manually it does not work. I get errors and
nothing opens. "HH" wrote in message ... By "run" do you mean to automatically run when put into the drive?

Open up the chassis and make sure all the wires and cables are connected
properly to it. If they are, consider replacing the drive. It shows up in My Computer and Device Manager, so the problem is not software-related. ....

Exchange the CDROM with one from a normally working PC and its CDROM. If the
problem disappears, the first drive is faulty. (Be sure to jumper it appropriately, most likely CS....) |
