pr-man 1 Posted December 15, 2002 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.

Mr.Guvernment 0 Posted December 15, 2002 yeah - check IRQ - use msconfig to turn off all start up items what progs u got starting up with windows? (in your system tray) check out start / run / msconfig / startup - and uncehck all items, then reboot and try. Share this post Link to post
Champion_R 0 Posted December 15, 2002 Any hardware changes when you reinstalled? Even anything minor like change master/slave settings on drive? Share this post Link to post
