What issues would cause a Sony Vaio Notebook CD drive to bomb when trying to run .exe files?

I can play Music CD's and the drive works fine. When I try to load a new program (.exe file) I get various error messages that will not allow me to run.

I tried booting to the recovery disk and nothing happens (black screen, no cursor). I tried running an application over our network and the screen flashes and then nothing happens.

A virus or bad driver files for the cd drive. Make sure to have your driver files updated from Sony and also have your virus definitions up to date / scan daily.

Hope this helps.
