I reformatted the machine using the same disk that originally was used to install XP and proceeded to install my programs on the computer.When I installed antivirus software, I discovered that both optical drives will only read CDs if the machine is rebooted. It seems to recognize that there is a CD present, but will only read the data after a reboot.Here is the list of programs currently on the machineAcronis True ImageAd-Aware SE ProfessionalOffice XP Small BusinessSplash IDERALink (automotive software)EDM (see above)HP Software for an all-in-one printereTrust Antivirus 7.0Palm Tungsten softwareAdobe Reader 6.0As far as I've been able to determine, this problem didn't occur for the previous user and when I uninstall the AV software, the problem goes away until it is reinstalled. I've tried Norton and eTrust and both cause the same problem.Thanks in advance for any suggestions!</blockquote>
