Please help

hmm maybe ill try that old cd drive of mine i cant remember if i took it out cause it was slow or it broke....ill see

Clean your CD and your CD-ROM lens before replacing it, it's fixed about 75% of my CD-ROM problems.

i have a cd rom problem too...d2 ocassionally spins my cd for some reason, and recently its been sounding really ugly and pausing for longer, any idea why this is?

how do i clean the lense? take it out of the cpu and open it up? ive never done it b4

Also i have those files music.mpq and etc...i have the game already installed on my computer its just my cdrom wont read the cds no more....and i followed all the instructions and it seems like its gonna load and it sorta does but it never really boots up so yea not a total faliure but i cant get on still which is still my main objective...so i have no idea whats up (edit i took the face off the cd drive and blew it out...nothing happened really.

You can purchase a CD-ROM lens cleaner at most electronics stores...

All it consists of is a CD with a little brush on it.

actually this happened to me a couple days ago.. i just wanna make sure it's the same problem.. when you go to my computer does it not show you have a d: drive?? if not what i did was did a system roll back to a week or so before... and reboot when i came back my d: drive was back!! might wanna try that

I use CD Clone to make copys of all my games and save the original copy in a safe spot.. . so if my disk im using gets fucked I can just burn another one.... I hate using the orig disk on shit like this...
