My system - PII 333 72Mg ram Windows Me Dxr3 Creative x2 speed drive(DVD2240E) I recently bought the R2 'Halloween' two disc set and my drive refuses to read disc one(it spins for awhile then says there is no disc in the drive), i returned it three times and had the same problem each time. I have a similar problem with the R1 'Let sleeping corpses lie' where it starts ok until just before the menu, when it can no longer read the disc no matter how many times i eject and re-insert it (i can only watch the film by stopping the player on the title screen then start the film from the chapter). After testing a couple of other Anchor bay discs i found some of them had a similar problem but (strangely) are ok now. I swapped the Dxr3 for my old Dxr2 and the problem is still there so i dont think it is the decoder card. All other discs (R1 and 2) work fine. Could it be the drive? Has anyone had a similar problem or does anyone know how to fix it? This is the first time ive ever had a problem with any discs....HELP!!
