    The pc whirs & loads the cd, gives title on Windows Media, but wont play it, tried different ones.
    The driver listed on pc is lite-on DVDRW SHW-16358 under devices.
    Ran Windows Update & Security, no errors messages appear. Any ideas?

      It will play any manufactured cd or one that was burned, but not a data cd, for example, an HP printer install cd, or any non music cd.
