Got it back. I followed all kinds of instructions to fix my DVD drive that didn't work. I finally found an instruction that worked. It was to do a system restore and go back to a time when my drive worked. I actually had tried this before but I guess I didn't go back far enough the first time. This time it did the job. But, I had to repair my installation of Jaws and do a lot of Windows updates and some other clean up chores. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bobcat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
