Muchos gracias to anyone who reads/offers help,

PS When did this place go all sexy?
 
Does it read other discs ok?
Check for new drivers?
Does it have the Yellow triangle next to it on the Device settings?

1. Nope. The green light just flashes on it once and nothing happens.

2. There's no new ones.

3. Can't find 'device settings', can't find a little yellow triangle in either Drive>Right Click>Properties, or in Control Panel>System etc.


Thanks for your reply.
 
Not a solution to your dvd problem but if you're desperate to play the game still you should be able to go onto Steam and enter your serial number and be able to download it from them.
 
Excellent idea, sir! Playing the game is all I care about. In the process of downloading now.

Muchos gracias!
