Hi! Ok, here's the deal. When I put a DVD in my dvd rom drive, it makes this
clicking noise like 3 or 4 times and then nothing happens. I have played
dvds in my computer before and it worked perfectly. I have tried everything.
I have uninstalled and then reinstalled my dvd software, I have checked to
see if I have a decoder and the system profile says that I have one and it is
found. I have done windows updates on my computer, I have upgraded my
windows media player and direct x. I have done all of this and nothing
helps. I am wondering if there is anything else I can do or if anyone knows
what the problem is. When i go to my computer and look in the drives, when a
dvd is in my computer it does not show that in the drive file. It seems to me
like maybe the drive isn't reading the dvd or something, but I don't know.
Anyway, I would really appreciate any help that anyone can give. Thanks so
much!
 
Is the click coming from the drive itself? If so it would point to a
physical problem and perhaps a faulty drive. Have you tried cleaning it?

Ok, thank you so much for replying. But, how exactly do i go about cleaning
my drive? Thanks!
 
You can buy a dvd cleaning disc.
How old is the drive?
How much use has it had?
Where does the clicking come from?

I am experiancing the same problem for a week now.
DVD Drive will read and burn cds but won't play dvd's.
Nothing wrong with the disk and i ve cleaned it with the
cleaning disk as well.But clicking noise only appears when
i try to play any DVD.
i ve re-insatlled the VGA driver made changes to color
depth and resolutions.Direct x seems to be working fine and
i m not recieving any conflicts reports.

Can anyone suggest something productive?
