try changeing the dvd drive and see if a different works in your laptop - most likely your drive is just gone bad...

I guess my previous post applies even more now...

is it always the same cd's and do they do it all the time and the same place in the songs? Either your cd drive is going blind or your laptop is busy with other tasks... maybe a virus... Christian

So a decent postal service is a 1950 dream? Well if one only privatises the money making bits of publics companies then all one is left with unworkable sceletons. The royal mail needs the income from parcerls and businesses to make money. We all know that it is not feasable to deliver a letter for the price of a second class stamp across the country! Anyway, i might just be a socialist, which does appear to be a 1950 dream in this money grabbing sociaty these days....

Let's be clear here - i am not moaning about the posty(ies)! My problem is with the higher management of the royal mail, the goverment, and anybody else who supported and is using privat carriers. That got the royal mail into this state. Having said, i use privat firms too now and think it's too late to not to.

I do agree with you and have now recovered from the disapointment of not receiving deliveries....... Strikes are happening way to often and there should be consequences for people involved.

Ahh I see, let's just accept it then....:(

Surely just a question of money - and how much does the strike(s) cost?

Striking!?! i can't believe it's still happens in 2009!! My posty will be happy as i will now use suppliers who use privat carriers, so he can enjoy lighter bags... Regarding the tube, well where i am from (originally) the tubes run computer controlled. They don't strick and are on time. Surely a first world country can resolve this situation....

So hacking is more acceptable than saying your mind. Is that what you are saying???????
