another way you could Diagnose the problem is, you could delete the DVD entery in the device manager. restart the machine, and the device will be reinstalled. short of success, it could be a hardware issue. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of david Sent: Saturday, March 7, 2015 7:25 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] CD Drive not Working you may want to check this out; http://support.microsoft.com/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems Diagnose and repair CD or DVD drive issues, when you cannot burn or play CD or DVD discs, when a drive is not found, not accessible or not connected.

There are a lot of very small moving parts that would not take much to disrupt with dust and so on. There is a moter that spins the disk and there is also a moter that moves the reading head back and forth over the disk and it moves along a rail that has a very small gear that rolls along a rail with really fine teath, so you can see how it might just be constipated.

I even tried different ones. I know it worked early last year because I installed printer software, haven't popped anything into the drive since then though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trish" <patricia.zoell...@tx.rr.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Friday, March 06, 2015 7:34 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] CD Drive not Working Hello Mike, Here's what it states.. I found this info from your first set of instructions. So if it's driver is the best already, then I guess it's the device it's self that is not working?

Now press enter on search automatically for the driver for this device. if this does not work, go to device manager, and find the CD drive to see the make and model of it, then browse to the manufacturer's web site to find the latest driver, download and install it. Ottherwise, it could be a bad connection, or the drive may need to be replaced. hth, Mike mike....@comcast.net -----Original Message----- From: Trish Sent: Friday, March 06, 2015 11:04 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] CD Drive not Working I have been trying to figure out why this is not working.
