Does the same thing happen for ALL discs? Or just some?
Test with a known good CD or DVD disc.

Thanks for the quick reply, yes it does it with everything, even tried Gericom Product Recovery and Driver Update Discs. Uninstalled and let the computer reinstal still nada, so frustrating as just bought a good Logitech web cam and of course cannot install it, yuk. I hope you can help.

When you look in Device Manager can you see your DVD/CD drive listed?
Click on the little triangle to get the full device listing.
Any red of yellow flags on the device?
Right click on the DVD/CD drive and choose Update Driver Software.

How to use Device Manager

Check on the software's webpage. You might be able to download the software directly to your laptop. Not all laptops with webcams even have CD/DVD ('Netbooks especially).
