Dirty_habiT Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 ermmmm.... make sure the cds aren't bad by trying them in a known working drive, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casekonly Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 it's all cds, dhabz. all of them. only plays dvds. even my new mohaa discs won't play. fuck! i just took back a new dvd rom b/c of this...it worked before i took the new one back. fucked thing is this dvd writer works on windows drivers. so, no firmware updates, no driver updates...ugh. checked jumper settings, pulled ide cables....i've done almost everything except cleaning the lense...but that can't be it b/c it reads dvds.

Quoted post good chance it has to do with a dirty lens alot of the dvd drives have 2 lasers in them one for the dvd and one for cdroms so use some caned air or whatever you perfer to clean it and that should work also if you dont have 2 lenses the dvd and the cdroms read different they read the data off the disc at different angles and the cd angle might be dirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casekonly Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 ahh...thanks. been updating firmware, changing out jumper settings, etc etc etc (it deserves 3, trust me) i'll drop by wal-mart tomorrow and buy some canned air and a cleaner for dvd players.

Mainter Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 also i might add but prolly isnt yer issue i did this when i just got into computers and learned about the magic of the registry lol well i had a dvd/cd combo drive and i went into the registry and somehow deleted a registry key for the cd reader i could not even reinstall windows cause it couldnt read the cd and had to get it replaced good lesson in all this kids dont mess with the registy unless you know how to back it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casekonly Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 yeah, this is a fresh install. check it: i had to go to another computer and burn a dvd with fucking windows 2k pro on it so i could install on this (cd reading prob). so, yeah...i just got done installing updates, etc on thsi computer a little more than an hour and a half ago. my registry is straight. gonna try and figure out how to get this dust an shit out of the disk drive (let's hope it's only dust) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casekonly Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 yeah, i can be there. i'll drop in later today. hey, you should know something. to get into the room, you should go to the list of rooms and right click. then create room and paste in the 12oz room name. that will take you to the 12oz room. there are atleast 7 people there.

Dirty_habiT Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 that and slsk doesn't notify you with a blinking icon in the taskbar if people are talking in chat, alot of times if you send me a pm I'll respond because it makes a noise on my computer and blinks the icon in the tray. I saw that you were in there last night, but you were gone when I checked. It also helps to add the room to your autojoin list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
