more I write the more stupid I sound, I know...) I ordered my computer

What the maker of your CD-ROM, is it Samsung, HP, Panasonic...etc.
Try to scan for malwares to make sure your computer is clean:

When it happened, did you install any new hardware or software?.
Do you have CD emulation software?.

It says that the device is working properly (ha ha ha...) I did a skandisk
and restarted my computer and it still doesnt work, so I'm running what you
suggested.....

Hi Mrs McIn,
What you saw in the Device Manager, does there is Red X or Yellow
exclamation mark on the CD-ROM?.
What make is it and do you have another CD-ROM or is it just one?.
Try this:
Open a run command and type in:
sfc /scannow click [OK] and let it run.

OOPs, I'm sorry, I should have included this information in the first
posting, when I put a game disc in the computer doesn't even come up with an
error message, when I try the short cut for the game I am trying from the
desk top it says no disk, please insert blah blah blah disk to continue...
sorry!

My CD Drive will not read any kind of game disc. The discs in question CAN be
read by my other computer, just not this one, so it's not just that the disc
is dirty or damaged. It will read music and movie discs though... Any ideas?
(I know I'm not a computer genius, so please, it may be something idiotic,
but I've looked around, I've done the trouble shooting and I'm stuck...)
Right click My computer and select properties from the drop down list, on
the system properties click on Hardware Tab then Device Manager.
There Remove your CD-ROM and Reboot your computer, windows will detect your
CD-ROM and install it for you.
Does this Help?.
Any error message have been given or just will not start at all?.
HTH.
