Open "my computer" and try to open the CD or DVD from there by double clicking it, or right clicking and selecting "open". If this works, you have merely turned off the "autorun" feature. If you need help to turn this back on, please ask again. If no luck, right click on "my computer" and select "properties", select the "hardware" tab and select "device manager". you should be able to see your dvd drive. right click on it and select properties and post back what it says. All the above assumes windows XP, but should be similar for others.

1. Check whether it happens same for other discs too.
2. If yes then your drive is faulty and you can do nothing other than replacing the drive and if no then that only particular is corrupted.

Some keys in the keyboard not working
Hello
The easist way and cheapest is to buy a exernal keyboard for your laptop.The keyboard is broken and you cant repair it, to buy a new laptop keyboard it very expensive.

The cd driver is also very expensive to buy, so I suggest that you buy a external one with dvd and everything.

Also check if the "CD" that the drive doesent read is DVD media.? CD drivers cant read DVD media, then you need to have a DVD driver.

Only shows compaq on screen
I work with Compaq computers now and usually your problem points to the hard drive. I know Compaq's will stay on that screen if the hard drive has failed. Try another hard drive would be my suggestion.

Hope this helps.

Dvd-cd rw drive
This means that your CD-rom drive does not read the CD, it could be that the CD is a different format (DVD, for example) or the lens is dirty or Your drive is faulty. see if your drive is compact or dvd and try the right formats. Try clean your CD-drive lens. If all this does not fix the problem, your drive is faulty. And needs repair.

CD ROM CR-589
Hi, A couple of possibilities: With a known good DVD with files inserted into your Compaq CR-589, double click in your My Computer, double click in your CD/DVD. 1. If it opens and displays the content, then there is nothing wrong with your DVD but the auto start feature of your OS was disabled, enable auto start; 2. If in My Computer or in Device Manager, the DVD doesn't show up, then it can be hardware problem, IDE/power cable problem, bios did not recognize DVD device, replace if and as needed; 3. If the DVD is in My Computer but will not display the files or contents, possibly defective DVD, replace. Hope this worksa out for you. Pls post again how things turn up. Good luck and kind regards.
