| 228678 | 2004-04-11 13:01:00 | Heya. Sorta common problem so may already be a solution listed.... Cd roms. Buzz buzz. 90% of the time I stick a cdrom in the computer and it starts buzzing away. New Cdburner of course so it's not that or anything. Just wondering if theres anyway to stop the cddriver from reading the cd or whatever it's doing so hardout thats buzzing along. Also, does anyone know of those virtual drives so I dont have to stick the cd rom in everytime I want to play a game for example? Save the dam buzz noise. |

For games like vice city that need the cd all the time I have my drive set to 12x which is almost silent. |
