When I put an audio CD or DVD into my hp pavilion laptop, i keep
getting a message that says "no disc in Drive." What
could be the problem? Using vista and has worked for a year but recent increasing problems with screen blanking, freezing

Is this only for audio CDs? have you tried any type of software on a disc?

This could also be atributed to new software/updates installed that uses the CD drive.

You can try the upper/lower filter fix but I dont think thats your issue. ( http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/314060#fixit4me )

You can also try to do a system restore to an earlier time to see if it fixes the problem. Post back with some more info.
