I'm drifting off topic here but would drivers be the problem with my CDROM's
(I have two) not able to read some of the latest music CD's? I find that
some of that have been manufactured in the past 2-3 years will not read. I
borrowed some Cd's from our public library and one is only a year old. It
refuses to work in one drive and is stubborn and cranky in the other. The
disc is in very good condition. This has happened on several occasions but
not with older CD's.
