Won't read factory pressed CDs. OK - I'll try a cleaning disc. thanks

Well, here is a clue: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/BusinessProducts/Blu-rayDisc+DVDWriters/Important:+Notice+Regarding+CD+Read+and+Write+Functionality+in+Certain+Pioneer+Computer+Drive+Models So Pioneer says some of their older drives may become unable to read or write CDs. They don't list the 117D in the notice, but it is listed on their giant list of "older model drives". So I'll be getting another drive and I bet that fixes it.

Have been using IMGBURN under WIN2000 for maybe 2 years. Awesome program. Did many DVD backups with an HP drive. 4 or 5 months ago got a Pioneer DVR-117D. Still working fine, no problems. Was very happy to discover in the last version that CDs are supported. Made a couple of CD backups, no problems. Very convenient program for that. Installed 2.5.1.0 a few days ago. Will not read CDs. Says at bottom - "Device Not Ready (Incompatible Medium Installed)" Tried same CD I knew to be working before. Also tried EAC, and it did not seem to read either. Maybe something has gone funny with the drive? DVDs still reading and writing fine. appreciate any ideas.... thanks
