I found that it was easier to replace, PC World wanted double to our local pc store and it cost around
Ok could be your disc reader is mucky and needs a clean, or its a duff disc and the language the disc is written in the disc reader does not like. OR on the down side it could be your disc drive is on its was out.
Try cleaning the disc drive as it may have some dust in it, i have a little vaccum thingy that id mine with. you could use a cotton bud but it might leave residue.
Try a different disc.
One thing just thought of this happen to me some months ago, i pull the comp out to find the jack had slightly come out, push it back in and it worked.

Hi folks the disc was from the driving standards agency so it should be ok I have tried others and they are all the same.How do you clean the system I thought it worked by lazer so no contact with the disc.
PS I still can't find Kenco coffee!

You can buy CD/DVD cleaners, Plotter. They take the form of a CD disk and may have brushes or polishing agents impregnated onto them. They often come with instructions, usually the more expensive, the better they are.
Lol I have just posted a reply to your holiday saga so you will probably not want to answer but what man on TV has my Kenco !
The gap year chap. Something about not wanting to export them because they were to good for instant coffee. Dare say he's handed to whole impetus over to the "Tea" brigade.
The world of commodities, who can figure that out?

I have bought cleaning disc but its still the same.It was ok until I put in a dvd and it came up with updates to Windows Media Player and its not been right since any ideas.
Where is Brave fart when you need him?

Just a shot in the dark here, Plotter. You said it only started when you were alerted that it needed the updates, so have you updated? Or, if you want, there are plenty of free to download media players on the net. Why not try using one of them, at least you will have eliminated one suspect.
I clicked on all the prompts at the time but I have today gone through the update prceedure to Media player 11 still no luck .
Lol can you give details of downloads of players that are any good.

Real media player is a big player and can be trusted, Plotter.

I haven't tried this player from Adobe, but as it is an Adobe product, can be trusted too.
I would favour The Real player as I know it is A. free and B. compatible with windows.
Hope this helps.

Also Lol be careful with Real products as my security pick up 4 different types of spyware on their stuff. it might be free but it has add and spyware attatched. i use panda anti virus gold.

Hi Plotter
If you feel it is the update that caused your problem, could you not do a 'Restore' to a date before the update?

I think my PC is having more problems or is it only me that thinks that he text on here seems very pale,a bit grey and white rather than black and white.
I think it's your computer, Plotter. That or a visit to Spec Savers looms. Don't be afraid of system restore, it will guide you through the whole process and can be used to cure many ills. Try and make sure you choose your restore time before you started to have problems. I won't effect any of your settings/email/documents etc so is worth a try. I would agree with Diane about downloading stuff from the net, it could contain virus's but if you do it from a reputable site, such as the one I gave you, it should be fine. Speaking of which, have you run your anti virus software recently?
I run the anti virus as regular as clockwork,I will give restore a go it was set up when I downloaded windows service pack two.If you never hear from me again you will know that it wiped me out.Just in case its been nice knowing you all 
)
)Lol.I have just gone in a set a restore point as at last Sunday as that was before the problem arose,is that what I do ?Having done that how exactly ( I mean Exactly) restore it?
