Hi, Lynn- I'm probably being naive, but, is it possible that the offending CD drive has either failed or is not properly connected, hardware-wise? I ask because, normally if there is a configuration issue you would still be able to play audio cds, due to the fact that the CD rom drive generally has a direct connection to your sound card, as well as being plugged in to the motherboard. -- Lee Einer http://members.cox.net/appealsman/
