    I'm having a time trying to get my PC games to play from my DVD RW. They install just fine, yet when you try to play them, it gives errors as if it can't read the CD. What do I need to do? Thanks for any assistance.

    Tried cleaning the discs themselves? Failing that, give the laser lens a clean with a cotton swab and some isopropyl alcohol - gently.

    Are the games copies? That could be a problem.

    Tried the DVD-RW on its own IDE cable set to Master?
