ok I can see my CD-rw drive and run cds off it. I can see the icon for my dvd-rom but nothing will read or play in it. I know this drive works, I just reinstalled winxp with the same dvd-rom drive. If I go into Safe mode it works fine. So it must be something loading up in windows. I tried uninstalling some programs I had installed but still no luck. Anyone?

Any hardware changes when you reinstalled? Even anything minor like change master/slave settings on drive?
