I have a mitsumi 2x cd-rom that's on the fritz and i'm ready to toss it. Have had the unit for 1.5 years with lots of use. Three months ago started experiencing "can't read drive d" replys when loading cd's. Most often a "retry" solved the problem. Problem has gotten progressively worse and now am unable to load any multimedia titles(encarta,myst,quicken,7th guest,aegis,etc.). My cd-rom music disc's still play ok though. My config.sys and autoexec.bat have not changed and i have not been able to get any help from gw2000 other than "your out of warranty". Have tried a cd-rom drive cleaner ( 2 small brushes on a disc-cute little thing for $10) but no luck. Seems to me a major item like cd-rom should not "wear out" in a year or so irrespective of the warranty. Any help would be very appreciated. Andy
