Suddenly unable to read CD ROMs
I receive data on CD Roms/DVD ROMS
The organisation I get these from has just updated all its systems and is now using Acer computers with the latest (quote unquote) version of Windows
No my system won;t read the CD Roms any more. I am still using W2K Pro as operating systems with all the updates. I have also got the most recent driver updates for the CD/DVD reader/writer
Windows tells me "this is working correctly" (or somesuch) when I go through the troubleshooter.
Nero software knows there is a CD rom in the drive & will happily check it, but keeps deciding that the first block and the last block is "damaged"
I can still read older CD Roms....
Is this one of these annoying MS "lets force everyone to upgrade all their equipment totally un-necessarily" issues again ??
Anyone any ideas - I've tried everything including buying an external reader/writer - which also won't read these newer cd-roms
aargh
Cheers
