Please someone could to tell me something that we could do to get this laptop to read game discs. It will read DVDs and music CDs, but not game discs. We have tried cleaning cds, cleaners, everything. So please if you know something that we could do email me or post. Thanks.
 
If it reads DVD's & music CD's, it should read game discs too. Have you tried more than one game disc? Such as, other games. Another thing, make sure it's not a game console disc. I've this question before and the user had an Xbox CD in the drive & not a pc version of the game- therefore it wouldn't load up.

I have tried other games, it just won't read the discs. And I know that it's not other versions on the games.
 
is you mean the autorun (the screen that usually pops up automaticaly when u put the disc in) doesnt show up, maybe u might just have to go to "My Computer" and manually go to the cd...hmmmmmm strange indeed
