I am having trouble running CD-ROM disks, is there a way to check this for proper working order ?

Howdy epackage..

Is it just cd-roms?
Try click on My computer, and clicking on your cd/rom and see if anything shows up.. It may just be an autoplay problem

I get an error message Merlin, it says D:\ is not accesible The device is not ready with a Retry and Cancel button

ok lets go this route..

Right click My computer..
Click on manage..
The when the new window pops up click on device manager.. Let me know if there is any question marks in the box..

Did you open your computer lately to clean it or anything?

it doesn't say manage anywhere when i click on it, do you mean explore ?

Found the Device Manager, there are no question marks. Under Cd-Rom it just says PIONEER DVD-ROM DVD-114. I am noy very computer savy so I am not sure if i deleted something by mistake or not.
