Sometimes that brings back to life reluctant components/programs that other methods don't touch. Don't ask me why becuse I'd just be guessing, but it is similar to sacrificing virgins or throwing salt over your shoulder. Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)

230563	2004-04-22 04:16:00	I shut it down and left it for the night, when I turned it on again the next day it worked :S, BUT now it isn't working again :'( and I just got a new game :'( I should have said this before, when I put the CD in it doesn't even spin or anything, all it does is open and shut the tray :S the little green light on the CD ROM drive flashes but doesn't do anything....... is that a problem with the laser or something else, I don't think I have the driver CD either......

When the laser gets weak, you get varying redsults with different CDs, and sometimes with the same CD. A replacement is cheap, and you can even get a CD-RW for well under $100. DSE have one that has been priced as low as $60 on special from time to time but is usually around $80. Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)
