I just bought the 10th anniversary ed and my comp is not recognizing any of the DVDs. I put a DVD in the drive and it does not automatically start running. I try to run it manually using OPEN F:\setup.exe and it says there is no disk in the drive! I have XP OS. Please help!!!

can you browse the contents of the dvd or does it just not recognize at all?
also does your comp recognize other dvds?

It doesn't recognize the DVDs at all! As if there is nothing inserted in the drive. All my other DVDs and games work fine. I was recommended to clear out the C:\windows\temp directory, the internet cache, ran a disk scan, defragmenter, tried selective start up, and a safemode install. Nothing has worked! I finally concluded maybe it was the DVDs themselves and had it exchanged. The exchanged DVDs are also not working- it is definitely my computer, but my comp is a decent HP and only 2 years old. I don't know why it's not working but I really am disappointed. The only thing I was maybe thinking now would be if a destructive or non destructive system recovery would help. Is that possible? Thanks in advance.

Problem solved.

What was the problem and how did you solved it ?
