Probably could have titled this post Hey Roger! again, but then again some of you other gurus may not have answered.

I reinstalled an ancient HP Pavillion a few months ago for the unemployed parents of a kid that goes to my sons school. During the installation of Windows 98 SE everything went along fine if not a bit slow. I installed all known updates for things like Internet Explorer, Windows Installer, DirectX etc. With no problems, I then performed all Windows Updates (yes Roger, all of them) and once again found no problems.

A few weeks later (a couple of months ago now) I took over a not so old scanner and printer I found in the garage. When I tried to install the drivers for either device Windows would give me a Blue Screen Of Death claiming it couldn't read the CD.

I knew the CD was OK as I tested it at home. I then tried to copy the contents of the CD to HDD using Windows Explorer, same problem. So I booted off a Windows 98 SE boot disk and used xcopy from the command line and all was good.

So now I have a problem with Windows where it is refusing to read all CD's except some very old stuff they have. Audio, Norton, SystemWorks, CD-R's all fail.

Any idea what I could try to get this to work?
