I loaded Syberia II last night and played for a few hours. Tonight, I tried to get back into the game, but was denied. I was prompted to insert the CD ROM into a disk drive (repeatedly). I tried rebooting the system, but it still doesn't seem to see the disc.

Any ideas about how I can make it right?

music cds won't play on the drive anymore either - can a disc drive just up and quit working over night? Can I find it and make the computer see it again? Do I need to get inside the CPU and sheck connections?

It sounds like your CD player has a bit of Winnie-the-Pooh-itis. It may just be stuffed with fluff. Smile

Do you have a can of compressed air or a CD cleaning kit aorund to give it a whirl??

I am right now. Thanks for the tip. One thing, how will it work if the disc drive doesn't go?

by the way, nice truck.

The drive won't spin at all??? That's not good. You may have just worn the poor little thing out. I've got a spare sitting on the shelf if you wantto try swapping it out.

In the Control Panel. Choose "Hardware" and then "Add Hardware..."

Heehee.... truck needs a little work, though, eh?

I think I have another around here. The little light comes on when I put a disc in, but that's all.
