DVD-RW drive not recognising disc's
Hi all
My DVD drive has stopped recognising disc's......any disc's at all. Downloaded the latest driver but still not working. Anything else I can do to check it or is it just get another one?

Thanks for the replies, turned out to be somthing that a third party video/music program had installed in the registry. Had to delete it and all was ok.
