AAARRRRRGGHHHH!!!!

[owl]

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??

You could try a cleaning DVD. It happened to mine before and it had just got dusty and couldn't 'see' properly.

That said, I've recently had the same problem with the DVD player linked to my TV and nothing has been able to fix it so far - I suspect it's broken. :-(
