I have a CD-WR and a DVD drive but ever since I installed windows 2000, I cant use them (burn discs or play dvds). My computer came with windows xp and I dont want to go back because it runs much better without it. Ive tried installing burning programs and dvd playing programs but nothing works. Any suggestions?
