I've got a 2yr. old Compaq Presario 1692. About 8 months ago, I had a catastrophic hard drive failure. It completely corrupted my operating system and all files. I was lucky and had bakups for all of my files except for the operating system. After much cussing, I found a copy of Microsoft Me!, and finally got it to work. I loaded all of my saved files and was doing fine until right after Christmas. It was then that I realized that the DVD/CD reader was not working.
It would begin to read the disk and then come up with a big blue error message stopping the whole computer. I called Compaq tech help and was politely told to pound sand as they do not support Me! on a computer this old.
If you can help me get my CD/DVD working, I will buy you $50.00 of the ammo of your choice through the internet retailer of your choice.
Please respond to this thread or e-mail me for futher information.
