I have tried it on two different comps. My XP one, and then a Win98 one, and then upgraded the Win98 one to ME (I know... I'm so sorry) and tried it on that one.

My XP comp is an eMachine, and the other one is IBM, I believe (I can't remember at the moment). As for saying it could be a drive communication problem, I use the CD drive often, and it has worked fine with every other CD I put in there, so I have a hard time believing it's the drive itself.
