It says damaged,or incorrect code,when i put a cd in it just spins and then stops and i get nothing
You can try to use a cleaning CD. It is a special package you can find in all electronics shops. If after that still doesn't work, you can go to your vendor if you still have warranty, else, change the drive. it ain't much you can do to fix a broken CD-DVD drive.

If not showing scroll highlight add new then next choose option automatically install.If still not installed then go back and if you know your cd type choose option select from list then highlight what your looking for then next choose type and model from the list and next

go to my computer and right-click on your drive and say autoplay, does that work?

This sounds very much like a dead motherboard. I would suggest you get a professional to look at this or send it to acer. Visit thier site if you wish to. I would offer more help however laptop parts are expensive and tedious to replace.

If the drive is showing an error (or is missing) in device manager, do the following:
Start Registry Editor (Start, Run and type in regedit then click O.K)
Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
Locate the LowerFilters value under the same key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
Quit Registry Editor.
Hope this helps

That is a Vista problem with ACER. Delete the reference in device manager and restart and let the comp reco0gnize and reinstall ...just follow the screen instructions.
There is a registry setting that needs deleting but only if this doesn't work.
