Every time i put a disc in the drive, instead of playing it, it spits the cd right back out. On start up, the drive seems to run and make noise, like it is trying to eject a disc. When i navigate to > System folder> Preferences > CD/DVD prefs, i get a weird message. it says: "the doc. cd dvd prefs could not be opened because the app. program that created it could not be found." It seems like i am unable to make changes to my Preferences as a result of this. What does this mean, and how can i fix it?

It could be possible that your drivers need updating or that the CD is scratched. If possible, I'd suggest seeing that the CD is free of scratches and that your computer's drivers for the CD drive are up to date.
Also, maybe you need a certain program to open the file or files that are currently on the CD. Simply downloading the program that it was made on might be able to fix this.
If all else fails, and you can't do a System Restore or the equivalent to that, it may be the drive itself. It may be the hardware or something that has broken and needs to be replaced.
Good luck!
