However, regarding your 'New' Artec 56x CD-ROM, that should certainly be
adequate for CD's - Have you tried it yet?

Could you tell me the difference in, CD-ROM & DVD-ROM,
are they not basically the same,

No. A CD-ROM will not play DVD's but a DVD-ROM will play CD's & DVD's.

CD-ROM still plays "DVD'S" when loaded.

Then it must have been a DVD-ROM - and you probably have DVD software
installed (unless you are just playing a data DVD, e.g. Magazine cover
disk). Does it not say DVD on the front panel of the unit?

Well went to PC World and picked up a CD-ROM, (£10.29) for nothing,
Just a query, the guy in the store tried to flog me the DVD-ROM?

Well, if your previous, faulty "CD-ROM" was in fact a DVD-ROM, then you
*may* wish to consider his offer. But if you have managed to 'procure' the
Acer on 'Sale or Return' then try it, to confirm the faulty CD-ROM and then
return it for a DVD-ROM - if that's what you would prefer.
