To turn off content protection when copying CDs\nOn the Tools menu, click Options. \nClick the Copy Music tab. \nClear the Copy protect music check box. \n\nNote\nContent protection helps to protect tracks copied from CDs from illegal distribution. This feature applies only to tracks copied from CDs to Media Library that are Windows Media Audio files.

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...!

If all of the above suggestions don't help check if the CD you  would like to listen to is crippled. The music industry did experiment with different technologies to make copying of music CDs impossible. One way to achieve this is by not following the CD standards and adding certain faults on purpose. These faults are corrected by most CD players but not by CD ROMs in PCs.

USE WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SONIC HAS A CD BURNER PROGRAM.

Try cleaning it with special CD Rom cleaning kits.  They are a CD that you insert and just push play.  This fixes my CD problems most of the time.  If this does not work take it to a technician.

More than likely software.  You might try to download the drivers from the driver makers web site, you if you are in Windows XP, boot from the last known good restore point.  If it is drivers, this should help.  If not, you might try a new software product for writing to the CDs.

Do you have problem playing all the Cd's or just some. And i am sure you checked this in windows event manager. Well you can use a Lens cleaner and see if it works. If that does not completely resolve your issue and you have problems playing all Cd's contact a computer technician to fix this problem. If you have no problems playing any Cd's and you are just worried about the message in Event monitor then do not worry. But use a lens cleaner and use good quality of Media (Cd's)

if its a rewritable cd, try to erase it first. although the best quality cd's for music would be a cd-r.

yes there is a cd protection about this,unfortunately i dont remember the name its about 4-5 years old. use nero to extract the tracks\nor to copy it use clonecd with clony xxl,u are in mac's so find some applications that they do the same job as the one that i have mention above

If the cd has an autorun feature try double clicking on that not the *.exe.

My computer used to do that too. You need to have CD formatting software or else your computer just sees it as a blank empty thing. I got Nero StartSmart.. it works great.

did you try opening it with a paper clip?  (there's a small hole on it, if you unbend a paper clip and stick it in there there's a button or something that it hits that will usually make it open)\n\ndo the cds work after it gets stuck?\n\nbut i really have no idea why it would do that.

youre not going to be able to compress a dvd into a cd without losing quality

The problem is typically caused by a gap between the CD being ready for data and the computer being ready to provide it. Oddly enough, it tends to be more prevelent just before a CD drive fails.\n\nHowever...\n\nEnsure your screen saver is OFF. Disable the PC from broadband and then disable your antivirus. (I take it you have checked your laptop for virus' and spyware infections using something like SpyBot and Trend Internet Security Online Scan????)\n\nEnsure the only program running is your CD Writing software. Reduce the write speed to 8x. If it writes okay, increase the speed to 16x. If it writes okay, try 24x. If it still writes okay, enable the maximum speed (and curse me for wasting all these cd's)

Clean the cd-rom. Make sure the cd-rom is connected correctly inside the computer,see that the cd-rom is recognized by windows-see if the cd-rom has a drive letter assigned to it. Play that particular cd on another computer or cd player to make sure it is NOT blank.
