A few weeks ago a dvd game got stuck in my computer for a few days, it popped
out mysteriosly one day and the next time i started my computer it said there
was a serious system error. now i try to play a cd game or music cd and it
doesnt recognize that there is a disk. but when i put the dvd game in or a
dvd movie in it reads it with no problem. i tried to uninstall the drivers
and everything but that didn't fix anything.what is wrong?
 
No that didn't work. does anyone else have anything else. Someone told me
that it is a possibility that the cd reading laser might have something wrong
with it but the dvds use a different laser so that still works. Could that be
the problem?
 
It could be. And that statement is true. You can try a laser cleaning
kit if you want or take the drive in. I would try the drive in a
different computer if possible before buying anything though ;)
 
Thanks i will try that
