I have lost the icon for my c-d rom? It's not on the desk top or in My Computer.
To open anything with it I have to use Run.

Is your computer on a network that has policies in effect, if so your administrator doesn't want you to see the cdrom..... If not go to microsoft.com and download TweakUI, install it and go to the mycomputer tab and make sure there is a check in the cdrom checkbox....

If you're not afraid of opening your computer then you can turn off your comp.. unplug it. open it, disconnect the ide cable that uses the cd-rom, make sure the hard drive is not connected to the cd-rom cable. After it is disconnected then plug in the power and turn it back on so windows can detect that it is not present. Turn it off again, disconnect the power again. Reconnect the ide to the cd-rom. Reconnect the power and boot it up again. Windows should detect the cd-rom.
