Mike has a problem with his computer (I was no where around! [Big Grin] )

He put a combo DVD/CD burner in the computer and it will read cds but it will not read DVDs. Will an older computer not read DVDs??

It may need a driver to read DVD's if it's an older machine. Look in the device manager and see if it thinks it's just a CD drive.

It lists as a "DVD/CD-ROM drives" in the device manager.
