Greetings to everyone.
The problem that has come up lately is that when I change CD or DVD on the CD or the DVD reader,win xp does not see the change and I keep browsing on the CD or DVD that was firstly placed on the computer.I mean that Windows do not refresh the reading devices and I am still seeing the contents of the CD that was firstly read on the boot of windows allthough I have placed another CD on the reader. What might be the problem ?

If you keep the window open, this will happen even with floppy disks. To refresh either close the window showing the cd contents and re-open or press the F5 key on the keyboard while the window is open to force a refresh.
