thanks its worked on my first computer im going to go try it on the second thanks uncleed

it hasnt fixed it, it worked then went stupid again, has anyone got any other ideas

Hey nutty
Sorry it didnt stay fixed, thats odd it worked, then quit. What burning/playing software do you have installed? You might try uninstalling/reinstalling that, you could have a corrupt driver in your software. Are you running the same software and os on both desktops?

i have windows xp on both computers i dont really use any burning software one computer can burn cd's but the other cant, i am just using the cd drive to play games really
