I have just gotten a new computer and have been downloading my CDs fine all
day. Then suddenly the computer wont play them anymore...it is saying 'no
disc in drive' when there is! it is reading DVDs fine, it just hates CDs.

I have WMP 10 running on Windows XP.

Can you select it manually using WMP's PlayVD/CD menu and have it work
that way?

What CD drive type do you have ? Did you update drivers recently?
Can the system still see the CD?
What brand of computer is this?

got it from a company who installed software on it. but it played and ripped
cd fine all day and then just stopped.
