Thanks to all

is the green light coming on when you put the disk in ?

if using Xp or Me then use system restore to go back to a day when you know it last worked

Go into Control panel,system,hardware devices,have a look to see if you have a yellow explanation mark next to your cd drive,if you have uninstall the driver,and boot back up again,Windows ,will install the driver again for you

does the name of the cd or icon change in my computer

what is the CD?

or rather what is meant to be on the CD.

could be blank, have seen people do it before,

does other CDs work?

As above, is it all CD's or just one in particular?

If it's a music CD it may be protected in a way that won't allow play on the computer.
