We tried 2 differant cd roms and 1 music cd, and all 3 did not work. But the one movie we tried did work.

cd's are not scratched, I keep my cd's in new condition. No I'm not looking for a new laptop....... I spent too much for this one to be getting a new one.

Have you tried other cd roms too, to see if they work? Its very possible that disc just doesnt read for some reason. That happens alot, CD's can be weird sometimes
