Hi folks:
I fear I'm in denial, but maybe not: ;-)
my Creative 48x mx CD ROM seems funny to me: it SEEMS to run ok BUT
with most application CDs it seems to whir on and off LOUDLY, A LOT,
and I feel like I wait during the pauses of the whirring (like in
the middle of a demo for a product, it pauses, stops whirring, then
picks up again), and when I take the CD out it is VERY HOT...
INNOCENT NAIVE QUESTION: IS THIS NORMAL?????
(my internal CD ROM is apparently model CD4833E BC102 , according to
Device Manager,although when I visited the Creative web site, they
don't list a 4833, just 4822...which made me nervous...)
Music CDs seem to play smoothly with no crazy whirring, just
application CD's.
Any more experienced thoughts greatly adds to my sense of
confidence,
Thanks!
Lj.
