    DVD-RW drive won't read dvds
    Is there a reason my dvd-rw drive won't read any dvds or dvd games? Is there some software I can install that will solve this problem? It is the only disk drive I have on this computer so just using another drive is out of the question..

    Could be a simple matter of the lens needing a clean.
    Best idea would be to purchase a lens cleaning disc and run it through your system.

    Does it read CD's at all ?
