Please help just reinstalled WinXP and now cdrom not working

Recommended Posts

ok I can see my CD-rw drive and run cds off it. I can see the icon for my dvd-rom but nothing will read or play in it. I know this drive works, I just reinstalled winxp with the same dvd-rom drive. If I go into Safe mode it works fine. So it must be something loading up in windows. I tried uninstalling some programs I had installed but still no luck. Anyone?

 

When I check the system event monitor I get this:

 

Event Type: Error

Event Source: Cdrom

Event Category: None

Event ID: 11

Date: 12/14/2002

Time: 5:46:32 PM

User: N/A

Computer: AMD1800XP

Description:

The driver detected a controller error on \Device\CdRom1.
