Hi guys!
Hope someone can help with this as I have no idea what's happened.

Only information I have is that I have an e-machines computer with original 16x DVD ROM drive. I later installed a BENQ 52x24x52 CDRW drive and everything worked fine.

All of a sudden the driver icons disappeared from my computer. I've looked under device manager and they don't appear. They are still working cause when I put a cd or dvd in them, they start to run as i can hear the whirring noise and the lights flash to say its running but the cd or dvd doesnt start playing or isn't recognised by the computer.

Hope someone can help, please!

Have you tried to download new drivers yet? Did this start happening just after you installed service pack 2? I bet you need new updated drivers. Try installing the original ones first if you have the disk, or maybe off the windows xp disk.

Fancy meeting you here

It happened before I made any changes at all. I thought it was because of the all the viruses.
This may be a really stupid question but: How do I download new drivers because I don't have the disks anymore.

You can search for and download new drivers for free. You will probably have to know at least which brand cdrom's you have in order to download the correct drivers.
