well my dvd drive is alittle wierd, it often times has lag in videos useing any of my 4 dvd progs, even cd music has issues some times , when im installing something from it ,the rest of my cpu lags and just overall it has some probs ,if u can help me with these id be happy but thats not what this is about. i dont know what brand of drive it is ,i got it with my costom pc and i just got the standard 16X dvd rom drive, so is there a program that could tell me? i have afew but they all say "16X dvd rom drive" i want to know so i could get the real drivers for it , not just the default windows xp drivers..thanx alot
