    Hey folks, as the titles suggest my PC wont play games / CD roms. I did reinstall windows from a genuine CD about 3 months ago. DVD's and CD's play fine, but when I try to install a game, it wont read it. The disk cog does show up on the pointer itself as if it is reading the CD, but when I click "My computer" it loads for ages and the screen stays white.


    Any ideas?


    Thanks

    cds are read by a separate laser to the dvds, so there's a good chance that this is broken. doubt it's worth repairing it probably best to buy a new one.

    sorry!
