Sony CD-RW CRX300E DVD/CD-Rom Drive
Hi guys, first of all let me say Im new in this forum and I dont understand much of the technical aspects of computers....so u may have to be patient with me. My problem is.......My cd/dvd drive was working perfectly...playing both cds and Dvds....I left it in england during the summer and when I came back from home it wouldnt play Dvds. It simply came up with a message 'Please insert disk into drive' When I inserted a dvd. I didnt understand this as it plays music cds fine. I tried a few things but none worked so I thought it was a hardware problem....but yerterday after reading this forum I downloaded Windows updates to see if that would make a diference....and it did! After downloading some updates it actually read the Dvd.....took a while and made strange noises but it read it. Although when I played the movie(using VLC) it skipped the whole way through. By skipping I mean that it plays and evey little time it freezes the image and sound and then continues.
I need help analysing my problem and finding a solution, is there anything I can do. Is it my hardware which is damaged or can this problem be fixed without having to buy a new drive?
Although it reads the dvd it takes ages, anyways thanks for listening and I hope someone will be able to help, cheers,
Jose.
Im running windows XP Home edition.
