I am working on Win 2000 Pro, using Office 2000. I needed to install a feature from the Office 2000 cd (importing excel spreadsheets into outlook) - everytime I put the cd in, it sounds as if it is reading the cd, but then spits it out. This just started happening. Even inserting a music cd - it loads the media player, but then ejects the cd. Can anyone offer any solutions? "Try everything at least once."

I usually check them in a different computer to verify operation before tossing them out.
There really isn't much that can be done to repair a CD-ROM drive and usually isn't cost-effective based on hourly labor rates versus buying a new one. Once in a while, running a Lens Cleaner [brush-type only, no liquids] will help.
On the 'Net, new ones can be found as low as $35 and in WalMart less than $75. Can even get CD-RW drives for less than $75 on the 'Net, possibly much less.
