Why do some CD's refuse to load on my computer? Most load with no problem, but about 20% will not.?

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. \nDetailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yk5zpr

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)

Now a days we get 700 MB Blank CDs. U can burn the AVI file in it and it will work, as i have copied 750MB avi file in a 700MB CD it worked for me :-). Try using Nero Burn.

I would try reinstalling the driver, but first check just to make sure that the CD works in another computer.

this cd maybe protect of copy or need to clean \ntry to use programes like "VirtualDrive" that copy all the cd data and ignore reading problems

Maybe the CD is not a BOOTABLE CD. It has to be for it to work, but you can also use a start-up disk (Win98) if have any,.....or search and download it off the internet. during the booting, select start with CD-ROM support.

If that is only web site you cannot open it could be down for mainetance...Try running your disk cleanup program if there are other sites you cannot open..

Are you on dial up, DSL or cable?  If on dialup, sometimes the sites "time out" and will not load, especially if there are many graphics.  Also, there are some sites that are actually down at times.  Lastly, is there a block on certain sites on your computer?

Hard to diagnose the problem with just that info.\n\nFirst, are you installing software from a floppy disk or a CD Rom?\n\nIf it's a CD, perhaps the CD drive in your PC does not have the drive letter d:\n\nOr if you have > 1 CD / DVD drive, perhaps you're using the wrong one in terms of one that's labled d:.  In my system, for example, I have d:, e:, and f: CD/DVD drives.\n\nIf it's a floppy, it's most likely a: or b:, not d:

Well, when troubleshooting, you have ask questions like, did it EVER work in that cd rom drive?  And if it did, what changed?\n\nIs it the original or a copy?  Some copies will not read in other drives.\n\nIs it damaged, scratched?\n\nDo you have another drive to test it in?\n\nDo other game/data cds work fine in that drive?\n\nI would say, try creating a folder on your desktop, and copy all the files from the cd to that folder, then try to install it.  If it's successful, you'll still need to have the cd in the drive to play.  If it cannot copy all the files, it's likely the cd or drive is failing and will need to be replaced.\n\nProbably a cheap way to find out if it's your cd, and you don't have another drive to test it in, is to go to some game rental place, like Blockbuster, rent the game and try again.\n\nLet me know if this is the best answer.  Hope it helps!

You may be missing some obscure components. Leave the disk in the CD tray for a while and, maybe, it will install itself.\n\nI know, not terribly tech-y, but it has happened to me and this fixed it.

You said CD... The install disk is most likely going to be a DVD.  Also check the tech specs.  Your hardware may not be up to speed.

you may have turned off files tat windows needs to load in normal mode try getting into safe mode and restarting some programs in msconfig to fix it. If that doesnt work you can try windows restore but I persnaly am not to fond of that. If that doesnt work the next step would be to try to repair your installation with your windows cd

Make sure your drivers are updated, make sure the CD is clean, make sure the media is good, try another cd, buy a new CD.\n\nSorry, I wish I could be more help.
