Good Day One and All, CD-Rom drive of a Pentium II, 32 MB Ram, 4 GB Hard Drive, 24x CD Rom drive, Windows 98 SE calls all CDs placed inside Audio. Windows Media Player also refuses to play any real Audio CDs. I have checked for the latest drivers and download the latest critical updates from Microsoft. I at the point of saying replace the drive but this doesn't act like any defective CD-Rom drive that I have seen. Checked Audio CDs in a stand alone player and they play perfectly there. The software CDs can also be read from a different system. My question: Is it safe to assume that CD-Rom is defective and replace it or could it still be a software problem.
