Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Disks / File System / May 2004Can't use my CD-ROM
When I insert a CD program in my CD-ROM, my computer doesn't recognize that it's there. I went to Device Manager and there is an yellow circle with an exclamation point next to where it says: "Mitsumi CD-ROM controller with double speed drive". When I click it it say: "not present, not working properly, or does not have all the drivers installed" It has the exclamation point and states the same problem where is says "IDE Primary controller", "IDE secondary controller" and "Standard Floppy Disc Controller": I have Windows 98, what did I do to my computer and how can I fix this? Remove all the items with the ! and then reboot and let Windows redetect them.

Close device manager and reboot (restart) on the Start button.

I did it, but it wouldn't let me remove a few of things that have a ! It didn't let me delete the "IDE Primary controller", "IDE secondary controller" Then I restarted the computer and it's still the same, the computer doesn't recongnize the CD-ROM. When I click "my computer" it has the floppy disc drive, the c and d drive but the CD is not being recognized. Very frustrating...what do I do? I don't want to have to call a repair guy and pay $$$$ Thanks Thanks>-----Original Message----- >Yes you are correct. Close device manager and reboot (restart) on the Start >button.

If there is still a problem, tell exactly what you are doing and what the computer does.

That's true for almost everything now adays isn't it? > I did it, but it wouldn't let me remove a few of things > that have a ! [quoted text clipped - 63 lines] > > > >. |
