This is embarrassing: I can't get my CD player to play CDs.

I really cant imagine this forum is used for this mindless crap. This is a NEWS forum. Not a personal failing discussion site.

Yes, it has a built-in CD drive, which Win File Mgr/ Win Explorer easily sees. Running 2009 Win-7 Pro 64 bit. It’s an industrial/office-grade HP/Compaq 6000 Pro Microtower.

[Carriage Hill]

No.

Your answer made me chuckle...thanks. I know what you mean!

Call Hillary’s IT guy, he will make it work!

Does it sound/feel like the drive spins when a new disc is put in? If it has an LED on it does it blink when you close the drive?

He won't reply because no one takes him seriously. Freepers are most of the time great, but I find it noteworthy that too many find a post an opportunity to laugh and belittle another freeper because “it is funny.” To those who do this, think again. I certainly don't expect this post to gain any traction.

What is your opererating system and what device do you you use?

[Carriage Hill]

Internal CD. Can’t remember what software I used to use for playback, it’s been so many years. Win Media Player, maybe?

Try ejecting it, wiping it (with a cloth), and re-inserting it. Careful the insides don't come out. That's where all the memory is.

Very often you have to do troubleshooting to fix these kinds of problems. To troubleshoot, you may need to have a working computer, and then you swap things. Just like seeing if you light bulb is still good, put it in a socket that works. Or the other way around. To see if the socket works, put a working bulb in it. Good luck, and make sure to vote for George Bush.

I’m working my way thru replies, but the pancreatitis of last evening has me weakened that I’m making lots of typing mistakes, and manually correcting them is time-consuming. Sorry.

[Carriage Hill]

I’ve restarted the box 3x, but don’t know how to stop/re-start the CD player itself.

[Robert DeLong]

Try clicking on the song with the right button and select play with, and then select the player? Perhaps that might work.

[aspasia]

All in good fun. :) Seriousness is for people in power.

CD light is on, blinks, and I can hear the whirring/whizzing for a few secs, but then it stops.

[Carriage Hill]

I’m replying as fast as I can.

[aspasia]

Try another CD. Bad CDs will whir, whiz, and stop.

Cleaning the CD can sometimes help it along.

but the pancreatitis of last evening

Apologies. Did not know you have a problem.
