AAARRRRRGGHHHH!!!!

Something has happened to our DVD-RW drive. Whenever I put in an audio CD, it takes about ten minutes to load, with lots of whirring and groaning that never happened before. CDs with programs on it won't run at all. I've tried System Restore and scanning for viruses (but the subscription expired this morning, too), but nothing helps. What am I going to do??

Virus-wise, try AVG. I think the URL is free.grisoft.com - no subscription and I've had no problems with it. CD, you could try looking for new drivers online, uninstalling it and reinstalling it.

I'm kind of scared to start mucking about with the drivers yet. Perhaps I should check if the useless thing is still under warranty.
