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!!
