When you put a cd in windows recognizes it and runs it, you can try to go my computer>right click the cd drive and open it with a different application.

What OS is this?  Also, what CD drive do you have?

Hi there,

I've tried opening the discs thru other applications, with no luck. ::)

I'm running Windows 95..to be honest, I'm not sure about my CD Rom drive- it was installed last year, as I wanted one with a burner.

This computer is a Frankenstein..been rebuilt quite a bit.

Thanks again...
