My first post so I hope somebody can SOLVE my problem. I'm using an Acer Pent 4 with windows IE that doesnt work which is just one problem. The problem I'm CONCERNED about today is that I could throw in a DVD and it would play fine. Then after months of use now when I throw in a DVD it doesn't work. The blue disc light on the tower constantly flashes and that's all that happens. What can I do? THANX folks Cheers RadioOne of these may help:
1. Uninstall the drive through Device MANAGER.
Restart computer. The drive will be automatically reinstalled.
or...

3. Download, and run Restore Missing CD Drive patch
Double click on cdgone.zip to unzip it.
Right click on cdgone.reg, click Merge.
Accept registry merge.
Restart computer.

4. Go to Device Manager, click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll see two ITEMS:
- ATA Channel0 (or Primary Channel)
- ATA Channel1 (or Secondary Channel)
Right click on each of them, and click Uninstall. Confirm.
Restart Windows. They'll be automatically reinstalled.I agree with broni......good luck
