Re: asus cd drive

um ok i use power dvd 5 n it hjas been a great program runs all DVD's that i throw at it. are the region settings correct for your area? go into device manager open dvd/cd drives and right click on your asus properties then dvd region, there u can set it up for where u are but be carefull cos windows will only let u change it about 4 times

Re: asus cd drive

Sort of a dumb question but, is the dvd you are trying to use scratched? Try another one.
