Computer can't read CDs

[Nemorosa]

Hello, I've had this problem for a while now.

My computer can't read CDs anymore. If I put in a cd or want to install something, well nothing happens.

Anyone know what to do? Ask if you need more information or whatever. (windows btw)

thanks <3

What kinda of optical drive do you have? DVD? CD? Speed?

And if your installing a newer game, they may be on a DVD disc and you might jsut have a CD drive

Your optical drive may be fired to, if nothing works, just buy a new one

Have you tried opening the program via My Computer, then double clicking on your drive? If that doesn't work than it may be fried.

I accidentally put in the cable upside down once, and it broke it. Chances are you just need to get a new one.
