Hi, Jerry, I think that this could very well be the case. Thinking back I have never played audio cds on the drive - only through a jukebox programme I downloaded from the net as I said which may got round the problem. I am pleased you said not to reinstall. A little (in my case, very little) knowledge is a dangerous thing and I know from experience that it all seems so simple until you try to do it, then 48 hours later you are reaching for the paracetamol and swearing at inanimate objects and the machine is still not working! Now I know I have tried everything possible aside from the zero option, I will get a gadget for the little one which he will love! Until the next windows annoyance - best wishes to all. I have enjoyed this correspondence very much and can now check device drivers and all manner of things I couldn't do before. Regards, Joyce (Woolly)
