Hi. If anyone can help me with this that would be just awesome. My job recently disabled my CD ROM drive on my computer. I only used it to watch movies when I'm super bored. I am pretty computer savvy, but I cannot; for the life of me, figure out a workaround. I understand that I need admin access... Is there something I can do so that I am not sitting there bored ff my @$$ all night? Ill try anything! :)

If you value your job & the pay you bring home each week, don't do anything to raise the wrath of your bosses. You were hired to WORK, not to watch movies on company time. i_Xp/VistaUser

Normally movies can't be watched on CDs; you'd need a DVD drive and disk for that. Regardless, keep trying to get this working, and you won't have to worry about it as you'll no longer have that job or computer. Life's more painless for the brainless.

You can buy a portable dvd player I've seen them for as low as $64. That way when you get tossed from your job you can take it with you..lol Well we are here to help but you use the advice at your own risk. Explain disabled? Was it disabled in the device manager or by an app that the admin installed. Have you checked the ribbon connection.

freakybesco Don't help this person dig a deeper hole. They are obviously on thin ice right now. Either this post is a hoax or the OP is incredibly stupid.

gigsta187, I suggest that you find some productive way to help the company when you have free time. Ask your supervisor for ways that you might be able to help.

Freaky, That first part is priceless. LOL
