My computer decided to stop recognising my CD drive

But I'm too drunk to deal with it right now.
Think it's something to do with the registry files or some shit.

go welp it to a fleet of nados

i doubt it has to do with the registry the registry is just configurations for software

your driver's getting fucky

I'm going to look into the problem over the weekend.
If push comes to shove I can just ask one of my course teachers during the week about it and get a general idea of what to go for.

why do you need your DVD drive anyways?

Maybe I might want to rip a CD or install a game or such and such.
Don't you need a CD drive to make use of your physical copies of the Touhou games, amsk8r?

it's a one-time thing, the CDs just have an installer that pushes everything into program files and puts a shortcut on your desktop, i don't need to put them in every time i want to play

you don't seem like a CD kind of guy though

Obviously but you still need it for the one time.
Anyway, point is that it's useful and I most likely will need it from time to time so what exactly is the harm in trying to fix the problem?

I actually prefer physical copies of things.
I just don't have the funding to indulge in that.

you've restarted your computer right

if so it's probably an issue with drivers

It was a problem with the registry, had to go in and fiddle with the relevant files and now it's fixed.
