sounds liike your computer is not picking up your cd drive as if you open my computer it should show up as cd-rom for selection

Lee,

no

do a system restore, go back to a restore point you know the pc was working properly.

when i do a restore i do a scan disc then a defrag after but its not compulsory

Lee,

FOr some reason sounds like your comp is not regisitering the cd rom drive as above first and easiest thing is a system restore, otherwise you could be looking at a number of things ie full windows wipe and reinstall that can clear it or it maybe you have a faulty cd drive do you have a spare you cud swop it with to try

do this
right click on my computer and select "manage"

then down near the bottom of this new window highlight Disk Management

all physical drives and partitions will be listed here, hopefully including your cdrom..

if its listed it SHOULD tell you what drive letter its been assigned..

if its listed and doesnt have one, right click on the cdrom on the bottom portion of the right hand side, and select change drive letter and paths, and select the next available drive letter.

if the above isnt necessary and its still not picking it up, maybe the cdrom is faulty
