Dead CD and mouse
My 1st post----
I just got a "pre-owned" Toshiba notebook-- Win98 OS-with an InterVideo WinDVD--- CD/ DVD combo drive. The CD icon is in the system tray but does nothing if clicked. When a CD is inserted, it "whirrs" like it is trying to read it, but -nothing else happens. In Windows Explorer-"D:\is not accessible".....It also had an "add-on" mouse with it and it says there is a mouse on the ps/2 port, but it also doesn't work. I tried another "known to be good" mouse and it won't work either. The other symptom is that when booting up-- the win 98 pic comes up for about 2 minutes and then the prompt C:\> stays for another 2 minutes (yes I have timed this). Then it will load Windows quickly from there on. Something tells me that all 3 problems are tied together, but I am lost......Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
