CD PLayer Not Working

[skip]

Hi,
I have a PC that is really running me around. The computer can see
the CD player and when trying to open or look into the CD, you can see
the CD player read light flickering. The problem is that it does not
show the CD contents when you say to open the CD or does not do an
autorun. I have gone to the system events and it say the error is a
bad cable. I have swapped out 2-40 pin cables and still have the same
problem. I have had the CD player as both, the master and the slave
with the same results. If I put the Harddrive, or the LS120 or the zip
into the system with the same cable that I used with the CD player
they worked fine. I actually even changed out the CD player with a new
one with the same results.
Anyone have any other ideas. I can't believe it would be the mother
board or the IDE controllers since the other items worked ok. The unit
is less then a year old.
Thanks for any help.

Upper/lower filters.

Search thru this newsgroup and locate where you may find the registry patch.

I appreciate your response, but what registry patch am I looking for
and why?

Hi all,
I am reentering this problem to see if someone who may have an answer
happened to miss it last time.
I really could use some help on this.
Thanks
