I installed win98 and she "told" me to install the Sims, now heres the problem all of a sudden my cd sounds like its dieing, it acceses the cd then it turns off then starts again, i tried cleaning the lens, ive even tried it on my other drive which is win95. Ive tried diff cds and it still makes that noise I have a Kenwood 42x true and a Be6 mb. Please help me shes making me watch life time till i fix it.

Sounds like you hit the nail on the head. Your CDROM is dieing. It's just a coincidence that it happened when you installed Windows 98.

But ive only had it for two or three months

That's the timeframe that the bad ones go bad in!! Take it back and have them replace it!!

I have had the same problem with the Sims. But my cdrom isn't dying.......cause everyother game is still working fine.
anyone out there know why?

We had a machine come in with the sound coming out of the speakers in slow motion, I try to reinstall the sound drivers and that didn't work so we reinstalled windows by renaming WIN.COM method. That cleared up the sound problem and 5 or 6 other minor problems to boot.
