 Acer Aspire not playing dvds! Hi, I really hope someone can help me, this site has been recommended to me by someone on Answerbank- I am usless with computers, my boyfriend has done something to my laptop that he won't admit he cannot fix. It will not play dvd's anymore, My computer shows the drive woth a red circle around it and a line through. But when you look at properties it says it is working! Someone on Answerbank advised me to remove the Acer E lock program which i have done but still no joy. PLEASE HELP! And be gentle am not very technological! Thanks xx       |

| Acer Aspire not playing dvds! Try this, go to Start, control panel,system,hardware,device manager..Click on DVD/CD-ROM drives Right click on the drive and select uninstall Then reboot your computer, windows will then automatically detect new hardware and hopefully it will work then EDIT: assuming you are using XP

| Acer Aspire not playing dvds! I have tried that but it still says it is 'restricted'?? Think it may be a vista problem, but can't reinstall as i have no dvd drive? Dunno? |

| Acer Aspire not playing dvds! I think my boyfriend did one? am not 100% sure though, I suppose it would be more helpful if I waited till he was here to answer the questions I can't. What is best to do? Repost later? Or do i just write on this post again? Sorry for my stupidity |
