Computer Problems (EDIT: Problem solved in short order)

[Karl Valten]

I'm having trouble with my laptop CD-Rom drive. I got the thing about two weeks ago and the thing has been running fine (even with Vista on it). But for some reason the thing decides not the recognize the CD/DVD drive at all.

I can see the thing in the device manager, but I get nothing under My Computer and the autoplay funtion doesn't do a thing. Games, Software, Audio, DVD, nothing works.

The CD/DVD drive is a TSST DVD+RW TS-L632D ATA, don't know if that helps. Anyone have an idea of what to do, it's got me stumped?

Is it new? Then your easiest option is warranty fix.

I had this happen to me last year. I don't have the same type of drive as you, but the problem sounds the same so... here's how I solved it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
