Help CD ROM trouble
Try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc - if that doesn't work, it
sounds like the drive is beginning to fail - they're not expensive to replace, fortunately. "Levance" wrote in message ... I have a PIII667 running windows 2000 SP3 with all of the updates. Recently my CD-ROM will not read certin disks. Data, music and CD-R's some will work and some will not. I have inserted a music CD and instead of the media player opening, it would open a dialouge box like my computer and show the track.cda information. When I opened any media player to hear music the application will lock up. Any suggestions? BTW all cd's will work in the cd burner and I have copied the from the CD-ROM to the burner. |

Thanks Ed, I tried cleaning the lens and the drive did work a little better
but not 100%. I swapped out the drive for one from an older system. The drive worked great thanks for the advice. -LJ "Edward J. Neth" wrote in message ...
