| ...... | Re: Comp. slower than it used to be... S*** i dont understand why this has happened. When you uninstalled the drive and rebooted, once at the desktop an icon should have been displayed in the notification area of the taskbar saying that it was installing a driver. Did that happen? If not try uninstalling it again. Remeber that once at the desktop and it installs the driver you must reboot before trying to put a cd in the drive. |

| ...... | Re: Comp. slower than it used to be... Once the above is completed, shutdown the laptop and leave it off for a few hours. When you switch back on your laptop go to this link and see if microsofts solutions work: Fix problems in which your CD or DVD drive cannot read or write media in Windows |

| Member | Re: Comp. slower than it used to be... Uhm... (this is a possibly good "uhm") I uninstalled the drive. Shut Down. Waited a minute or two. Started it up. Logged On. Went to Device Manager. Saw the drive there. Three seconds later, the disk thing opens (like after a disk has finished burning). Should I reboot anyway or what? O.O *nervous break down* |

| Member | Re: Comp. slower than it used to be... Uhm... (a good "uhm") I can now see DVD RW Drive (F: ). The last thing I did was "Run TuneUP 1 click maintance and when its finished reboot." Can I try it out (put in a game disk) or finish all of your recommendations first? |

| ...... | Re: Comp. slower than it used to be... You can try a game disc now but if it doesnt work then you should uninstall the driver and REBOOT your laptop. Let windows install the driver and then reboot again. Then go to the Microsoft Link i posted above and try the suggestions there. |

| ...... | Re: Comp. slower than it used to be... Yeah do exactly as i said in my previous post and that will hopefully fix the problem. So its an unistall then two more restarts plus probably microsoft will suggest a restart as well. ![]() But doing that hopefully will fix it and rember to be PATIENT while doing each step lol. |
