DVD/CD drive read games, but not music/pictures CDs?

[Guest David Simpson]

Friend of mine is having a wierd problem with his CD drive.

 

1. If he puts a game CD or DVD in, the game starts.

 

2. If he puts a movie DVD, the movie plays.

 

3. If he inserts a music (Bought, not made) CD or a picture (made) CD in

and when he explores the disk, it brings up blank explorer window. Also,

the drive lable never changes from "DVD-RAM Drive (D:)".

 

4. If he inserts his Recovery Disk in, it comes up blank, also.

 

He has already replaced his drive, and it is doing the same thing. I've

tried everything I know (updating drivers, un-installing drivers, etc) with

no luck. He really doesn't want to re-install windows. Any other

suggestions out there???
