After many frustrating trys it occaisonally detects the cd but most often it just tells me that there is nothing there. running windows 98. Any ideas please as this is getting frustrating....its on all cds too not just specific ones....and cds that have worked previously Thanks	Guest (0)

Or you can do it the old fashion way and rip the top off and have a go yourself. Either way a decent clean may be in order. ==Orac==	Guest (0)

I'm going to replace it with a burner and bin the old one. I'm reliably informed that the laser is dying, so it's goodnight nurse. :-(	Guest (0)
