**********************
Since they do read/play burned cd's and game cd's, it almost sounds like a
software issue. ( Although, I can't see why they would play burned cd's, but
not store bought ones? ) What program do you use as the default audio
player? If you're using something other than Windows CD player, try running
cdplayer.exe and see if that will load/play them. Let us know.
