DVDrom does not read DVDs :(

[CrazyJo82]

Does anyone know anything about hardwares? I went to upgrade my computer from ME to XP and the cd-rom decided to not read DVDs anymore.

It worked for like 10min but after I restarted it stopped working... It took me an entire day to get the DCHP and the audio stuff back online... I haven't been able to figure out the dvd rom... heeellpp!!!

Yes, I've already looked a drivers from the manufacturer's page but they dont have any. (Pioneer DVDRom DVD-116R) And the firmware wasn't helpful either... anyone have any more ideas??

your problem is the mayor problem with win XP, some older hardware don't support win XP. when I upgraded my PC (old P II 350Mhz) to XP like half the hardware stopped working. so that PC is still on win 98....

it's fixed... just needed a new dvdplayer program.

Power DVD is the best software, or so I heard...

i downloaded WinDVD but I will look at PowerDVD and compare. Who knows, you might be right! But right now, I'm just happen I can watch DVDs on my computer again!
