My dvd-rom drive doesn't always rev-up when I put a game dvd-rom like Colin McRae Rally 2005 or Race Driver 2. I do have a antivirus, firewall and a spyware program and do scans about once a week and keep them regluarly updated. However if I restore my PC to factory settings the DVD-ROM drive will work with any dvd-rom,but after about one day it stops working again. Also I clean it once a week. My PC specs: Emachines 620 Desktop PC 2.7Ghz P4 80GB Hard-drive DVD-ROM Drive CD-RW Drive 3.5 Floppy Drive Geforce 5200FX 64MB Card 56K Modem On-board Sound 6 USB Ports The model of my dvd-rom drive: emachines make: HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8162B and the year is 2003, also I have no new drivers nor filmware. Please help me. -------------------- Please visit my brand new website and forums at: www.freewebs.com/technewshelp
