Another possible culprit is copy protection drivers that are sometimes installed by games. These drivers interfere with normal CD/DVD drive operation (Starforce and Securom come to mind but there are others like older versions of Roxio), and a few remain installed even after the games themselves are uninstalled. That said, if device manager and the registry looks good, try another drive. >> > "Lou Ingwersen" <lii(a)bellsouth.net> wrote in message >> > news:Ozxlsuz1KHA.5880(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >> >>I have a licensed OEM MSWindowsXPpro SP1 CD that I used to get on >> >>WindowsXPpro and after upgrading to SP3 and all the security patches, my >> >>system is not reading the old SP1 CD.
