Computer Trouble

Ok, so this isn't exactly forum related, but I thought someone here might know a little more than me...

My computer has been acting extremely retarded the past couple of weeks. It started when I tried to rip the 300 soundtrack to my music library...now no cd's will even play in my computer and the damn thing freezes up whenever I put one in. Computer games work ok, it's just music cd's. I've tried a system restore, didn't work. I made sure to download all appropriate computer updates, nothing works.

Any advice or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

What do you usually use to rip the cds?

Windows media player...I tried Realplayer too, but it didn't work either...

I have no idea, but if I were you I'd make sure WMP is the most updated version. I'd also try clearing your cache, cookies, etc. and also try running a deep scan of your computer. If that doesn't work, there must be a help desk number you can call to speak to a professional.

Good luck!

How does one purge their internet cache?

Thank you.

It depends on what you're using to browse the Net. For Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options. Depending on which version you're using (I'm using 7), you should see "Browsing History" under the General tab (if you have a different version, you should still see something similar). On version 7, you click "delete" and it will ask you what you want to delete.
