Help! All of a sudden my cd-rom does not work! I don't know much about
computers so any suggestions as to what could be wrong & what to do would be
very appreciated.
The computer was Designed for Win 95. The front says AGI by Everex (52x
max--on the front of the drive).

What happens exactly, when you insert a CD and try to use it? Have you tried both
audio (music) CDs and data (program) CDs? Are you getting any sort of error message
when you try to use a CD? Please provide exact info a error messages.

Try right-clicking on My Computer, then click Properties and open the Device
Manager. Click on the + beside CDROM, highlight the make and model of drive,
and hit the Remove button. Then reboot, and Windows will reinstall the driver
software.

It should then work properly again.
