I've had this computer for almost 2 years now and my notebook has always
run DVDs. Lately however, it hasn't been, and I've even tried using the
same DVD I always used to watch. My mom bought me The Sims 2 PC Dvd-Rom
for Christmas and I want to play it but whenever I put it into the drive
it makes a tiny spinning sound but never boots up and when I try to open
it from My Computer, nothing shows up. I've also tried running it from
the Run command box but when I tried that, it said to "insert a cd into
the drive". It does however run CD-Roms without a problem still. Now I
ran Disk Clean up Last week and it deleted a whole bunch of things I
didn't tell it to and I'm wondering if the DVD driver was deleted as
well. What should I do to check if it's still there, and if it isn't
where can I get the driver(s) from? If you don't think that's the
problem other assistance would be good then because I'm at my wits end.
