Thanks. I have no idea if that would have worked.
After several rounds of uninstalling and reinstalling using plug and
play, and also trying
to download special drivers I finally found a special utility that
you have to download
from microsoft (sorry I forget what it was called) that seemed to fix
the problem. [sigh]
Strangely my laptop had the exact same problem on a completely
different CD/DVD
driver - so something installed in both of them must have called the
original problemo.
(I just hope that that thing aint a nothing sinister!)
