My PC came with Vista preloaded, and for some reason my dvd drive
stopped reading discs. It won't read music CDs, software, games, or
burned data or music CDs - it simply gives me a prompt to please insert
a disc into drive D:. I tried disabling and reenabling the drive,
updating the drivers, nothing. I followed the instructions at:

'The CD drive or the DVD drive does not work as expected on a computer
that you upgraded to Windows Vista'
(http://support.microsoft.com/default...b/929461/en-us)

though I only had the lower filters for some reason, and I deleted them
as instructed. It's still not working, is there anything else I can do
or should I just bring it into the shop?

Hi,

Have you tried a lens cleaner disk yet? It does not take much dust/debris to
cause issues with reading a disk.
