so basically what u mean is that when u insert the cd, the drive doesnt read it ??
check if the cd is good.. and also insert other cds into cd drive to check if it works.. i think u need to get a new cd drive.. also which game are u trying to play ? maybe ur inserting a dvd into a cd drive.. lol just a weird thought

Using XP? yeah

Go to

Start
Control Panel
System
Hardware
Device Manager

Then expand 'DVD/CD Rom Drive'

What is displayed under that?

sometimes the shops which sell pc's take out the factory fitted drives and replace them with fucked up ones.. then to get it repaired u have to go to the same shop.. and they earn more.. happens in my country.. lol.. get ur pc checked... or try other copies of the game.. and sometimes if you are on a laptop the software for your drive needs to be installed before you can use it.. but getting your pc checked would be my first suggestion.. maybe its lacking a software..

o__O I had this problem, too.
The CD/DVD wasn't showing in My Computer.
In otherwords, it didn't recognise the Drive

I spent all day on the phone to Toshiba,
and eventually they told me i had the reboot my PC.
Lost loads of my stuff, but the problem was fixed.

You could try that.
+REP if this works :bigsmile:

It's usually a driver problem,
