DVD/CD HARDWARE PROBLEM
Did you try reinstalling your DVD decoding software (probably either
PowerDVD or WinDVD). -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Client - Printing/Imaging and Hardware www.coribright.com "_Mark_" wrote in message ...

DVD/CD HARDWARE PROBLEM
Not sure I appreciate the sex change, "yes Ma'am" would have been more
appropriate! The CD part of the drive and the DVD part use different lenses so it is possible the DVD lens has failed or is dirty. Hare you tried a standard CD cleaning kit? Failing that, time to replace the drive. -- Cari (MS-MVP Windows Client - Printing, Imaging & Hardware) www.coribright.com "_Mark_" wrote in message ... Yessir tried all of that to no avail...
