Ahhh, I'm not the only one:o)

I've got this problem on a fairly new laptop. The best
the support team (PC World) could offer was to iether
delete and re-install the CD drive,that didnt work. The
other idea they had was to re-install windows. This
problem has occured after some MS Windows updates!!

So any help resolving this issue will be most welcome.

Phil Martin.
