| 67326 | 2002-08-01 08:04:00 | Hey Whenever i put this months PC world CD in my Cd-rom drive it really struggles then eventually comes up with windows media player. So i go Start>Run>and open the cd folder, all i get in that folder is track01.cda What the heck? |

| 67328 | 2002-08-01 10:00:00 | Any problems with other CDs? Sounds like it is mistaking it for an audio CD. Could be the CD (and the subs people I think are the ones that can send another). However, I am sure I have seen this happen when a CDRom drive is playing up (the driver I think, not the drive). robo. |

| 67331 | 2002-08-01 10:11:00 | Do you have another cd rom drive that you could try it on? Then you would be able to establish whether it is the actual cd or the cd rom having problems reading that one cd. |

| 67333 | 2002-08-01 11:09:00 | These things happen from time to time with a batch of 30,000 CD's. As has already been suggested...try it in another PC (if you can) to see whether it is the CD or your drive. Either way...drop me an email with your postal address, the month of issue and magazine title...I'll send you a fresh one. scott@idg.co.nz |
