I just got another dell computer a cheaper one. THe cd-r drive is a HL-DDT-ST CD-RW GCE-8483b... I installed starcraft an older game of BLizzard game works great. I installed wc 3 with a store bought copy of the game and it keeps saying can not read cd rom please insert disk. Which does not make a lot of sense because it works on my other computers in my house just fine. Kinda of strange. I was thinking maying windows xp critical updates might have something tod o with it? OR the driver for the cd-r drive or whatever you call that needs to be updated not sure tho. Any hints to why this is doing this would be great ! THanks
I decided to reformat and and just load the drivers and keep all the other dell crap off and it works now
