This is completely off-topic, but I'm hoping someone can help me because I'm at my wit's end. My DVD drive refuses to read some of my game discs. It used to play them, but now won't even acknowledge their presence. The discs play in other computers, so that isn't the problem. I uninstalled the drive and reinstalled it, both in the system and then physically with no results. It will not play these discs. They are DVD game discs. Now for the part that really has me stumped. The drive will play any other disc I put in it. It will play DVD movies, CD-roms, music CDs, and even VCD and CDG karaoke discs. I am completely stumped. Does anyone have any ideas at all? I have Windows XP Home Edition, if that helps. Susie I haven't come across this one but if it will read some game disks and not ohers and the drive has done a far bit of work I can only think that the laser has lost some intensity and is being selective about what disks it will and won't read. It may be coincidental that the ones it won't read are game disks. Can you try the drive in another PC with those disks ?. DVD drives are fairly cheap although if it's an IDE rather than SATA drive then one may be a little difficult to find. I have a pile of IDE DVD drives about 2 metres high and most still are fine, if you're in Oz I could sent a few to you but postage here is a killer.
