When i run DVDUPGRD /DETECT :

Well the drive came with the pc . Its :
Compaq Dvd Rom - DVD 116

well i think the dvd must not be compatible with ur combo
1st check with nero disk info tool to know which type of dvd disk it is , it will be +R or -R ,
now check with nero info tool if ur combo supports +R if yes then this might not be the problem if it doesn't support +R then u can't run the +R dvd
or if this doesn't help try cleaning the combo's tray with a soft cloth and the lens with a good lens cleaner

Understood your Problem completely. Had a very long discussion in this forum...

Well it would be easy had you searched it..anyways...heres the link...read it carefully you will get every bit...

BTW my system is PIII, 1Ghz, Compaq Presario 5000 , DVD ROM , 64 SD RAM....its looks similar except RAM which probably you upgraded...If am not mistaken..you have the same PC with speakers stuck on either sides of monitors rite ?? Anyways...
