i assume it might be called DRM. which stands for digital rights management. basically it prevents usage of cds on computers to stop illegal copying. Its being fased out from now on tho, basically just a by-product of early to mid 2000's RIAA-driven paranoia

Access Device Manager and see if the CD Drive shows any problems. That is a start.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, Google away.

Get a life.

Try reinstalling the drivers for the cd drive. Go into control panel/system/device manager/ and uninstall your cd drive and then reinstall it. If all else fails you need to buy a new cd drive.

Also, try to clean the lens with a special cd you can get at the dollar store.

I hope this answers the question.

Hello, what is likely happening is that you have either added or removed some software from your computer that has caused this whole issue. if you are using windows vista, i would assume you are getting a message similar to "windows can not load the device driver for this hardware". in any case, some would advise you to do a system restore back before you made any changes. where i find this highly unreliable, i simply recommend clicking on this link http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;314060 and clicking on the fix it for me icon, and it will fix everything, restart your computer and you should be fine. if the link doesnt show, its on the microsoft website, just look for windows fix it.
