To All,

I am having problems with multiple Windows 2000 Professional PCs being
able to access the CD-Rom drives. The drive is OK in device manager,
and appears in Windows Explorer. When I insert a disc and try to
access it, Windows tells me to insert a disc. Sometimes the CD drive
will work, and sometimes it doesn't. I'm pretty sure that the problem
started after I installed a lot of Windows Updates. All of my PCs are
running Windows 2000 Professional SP4, with the latest updates. They
are all Dell PCs, but many different hardware configurations. Some are
OptiPlex and some are Latitude. Has anyone else come across this
problem? Thanks for your help!

This sounds more like a problem with the CD-ROM drive itself.
