I recieved a cd from my local race track. It has wallpapers, and info for all te upcoming races, but it is the size and shape of a creidt card, not circular like a normal cd. There is a hole in the middle like a cd. This is for pc's. Has anyone heard of these? How do i use it? Do I need a special drive or can I put it into my normal cd drive?

This is also known as a business card cd. It holds 50MB and its supposed to be used like a business card where you can put power point presentations for your company or whatever. Somtimes it is hard to get them in the CD tray right but otherwise work the same.

if its the game then get a no cd crack ( i will let you search for that since half the time you will end up getting spy ware  / viruses doing that ) the best alternative is to use virtual cd or something like this :\n\nhttp://www.virtualcd-online.com/\n\nDo a google search you will find lots of alternatives :) ;) ;)

Have you considered looking on the install CD for the game? They usually keep important files on the install CD. You have the original install CD, right? I mean, you didn't try to just download the game for free and crack it, right?

i have the OST CD but i dont have it with me... argh i'll find it on the internet.. wait a sec\n\ni found it, but i dunno which one, because there's so many regettons(sp?) on the fast and the furious. so here:\nhttp://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?dest=9999999997&product_id=5013400&sourceid=1500000000000002682730\ngo and figure out which one it is.\nit's definately not the barracuda or tokyo drift. and the song that comes out in the credits is conteo. so it's not those three.

http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/cd.htm\n\nHere's a really good site at Howstuffworks.com. It will explain to you what a CD is and how it works. Therefore, you will be able to use it in no time!

Most likely you are saying that it plays in the newer players but not the older ones. Older CD players cant play all made CDs.  If thats not it, then you may have made the CD in mp3 format, not CD format. Never use a CD-RW if you want to play it everwhere. Use CD-Rs, they are most compatible.

it's an image file, as mentioned earlier use Daemon tools and mount the image to a virtal drive. \n\nOr \n\nBurn the bin file to a CD/DVD with any cd-burning software and run it off the CD.

Hi there.. I've experienced this before.\nThere can be 2 reasons for this problem:\n\n1) The CD is spoilt.. \n- This is the more likely reason.. Some bad quality CDs get spoilt easily, if it has been kept in sunlight or scratched, etc. Change the CD.\n\n2) The CD drive is spoilt.\n- If the drive lens is dirty, this can happen. Although logically this should happen with any sort of CDs, it may still read the good quality silver CDs or your regular CD-Rs.\n\n\nFirst try with another CD-R (a good quality one) and then if it doesn't work either get your drive checked.

Another thing you could check is whether the cd is a +R or a -R. Because it really makes a difference which one it is. A +R has compatability issues with many computers where as a -R is more compatible. So I'd check that out too.

It's a file for burning. You will probably also have a ".cue" file along with it.\nIf you load a cd/dvd burning program, load the .cue and or .bin file, then burn it. It will create whatever that bin file is. Perhaps a movie? software? game? It could be anything.

Ok, that's a "classic" problem, I guess...\n\nI have two solutions...\n\n1) If the CD that you are trying to access is burned, then it's a good chance that the CD was not burned properly. "Not burned properly" could mean one of two things: it wasn't finalized (which really only affects audio CD players) or that the information was not burned to the CD. If the CD wasn't finalized (which shouldn't cause a problem for a computer since multi-session discs which allow you to add data to a CD more than one time play fine "un-finalized") you should re-open the program that you used to burn the CD and finalize it. I am unsure which program you may have used, but the terminology of "finalize" could also be "close session" or something to the effect of "don't allow any more writing of data." \n\n2) You should replace your DVD writer (you said that you had a combo drive?). You don't have to replace the entire computer...that's preposterous and like treating a sore thumb with amputation of the arm. The beauty of computers is their modular make up, where if one thing goes wrong, or becomes obselete, you can just replace that. Don't feel like you were misused by the store or company; these things are made in factories at high rates by machines that may make mistakes from time to time. To me it isn't worth it to try to get it repaired because these things are so accessible to the average joe, that you could probably buy one for less than it would cost to get fixed. \n\nIn the end, computer "problems" are really computer solutions waiting to happen. The more problems that you have and fix, the more you learn...until finally you need no one's help. The next thing that you know, you'll be finding computers to fix...you might even get into computer tweaking and overclocking...\n\nBut let's get the drive right first...:=)\n\nHope that helps...!

I've seen this before on EBay. It's an OEM version (ships with a new computer system), so it just comes in the box. Some companies (IT departments) that get alot of computer systems passing through don't really need all of these "backup" disks laying around, and if they sneak out and appear on the internet, oh well. However, on EBay, to make it legal, they shipped the sofware with a working (or nonworking) junk piece of hardware, like an old memory stick so as not to violate license. However, in this case, who knows if they've already used the cd key to activate something.

CD-R = write once\nCD-RW = write over and over\n\nThe 52 is the speed that it can write the data at. It basically means that you can write a CD 52 times faster then it would take to listen to it.\n\nWhat OS are you using? That will help people suggest free software for you.

Go 2 best buy or where u got the game and ask them. or call the company you got the computer from and ask them.......and why is this under the Television catergori...it should like be uner the CDomputer Catergori or Wutev. (j/w)

usually theres a pin hole in front of the drive.  push a paperclip or similar sized object in and it should pop it open enough to pull it out and get the cd

My question is WHY would a CDRW need a driver in XP? I personally have never had to use a driver for any CD or DVD writer or player with XP.
