Hi the only error message I get is no cd in drive when ofcourse there is. I
followed your instructions and things went ok for awhile but tracks are
skipping, this morning I tried again and nothing!! Also something that has
never happened before until today the cd tray got stuck so had to reboot,
when its trying to play its making a kind of ticking or scratching noise,
sounds bad to me!! I also can't play any cd roms at all. Any more
suggestions please although I think I know what you're going to say! This
has only come about since XP sp2 was downloaded, any connection?? Many
thanks for your help.
