Ahh....didn't work. Thanks for the help though. Last time I had to talk to dell's tech support, I was on the phone with them over a period of two weeks trying to tell them that my hard drive died and needed to be replaced. It was just easier for me to go out and buy a new one than to deal with them.

I was burning a dvd image, and the computer froze. I pretty much had to reboot. Maybe I was just running too much at once. Anyway, now, no program can detect my cd/dvd drive, and windows doesn't show it on my computer either. The drive light is on most of the time, and I can use the emergency eject button. The normal eject button does not work. I'm thinking it has something to do with the program locking the drive. Quick registry value change perhaps? Help Please! I'd hate to talk to the retards over at dell tech support for this.
