Today, I just got my worms armageddon cd, and when I put it in the drive, all it did was spin, but never opened, not automatically, not manually, not even thru cmd. I checked the cd, no scratches or dust. I am running Vista Home Premium.

Never mind. I finally got it working. Just kept opening and closing the drive. Well, now its official, I have made the move from WWP, to W:A.

try updating your Optical Drive's firmware or use a CD lens cleaner + a dvd lens cleaner in it (if it reads dvd's)

Step in the right direction, good to have you. :)

Did you try just navigating to the CD in explorer? Command prompt seems a bit excessive :p

Yeah, i tried explorer, then cmd, but nothing. Odly enough, after opening and closing the drive about ten times, it finally read the disc.

Hence why you should use a CD + DVD lens cleaner like I said above, will most likely lower the number of times you need to insert it to 1.

Quite often simply blowing into the open drive can help if a larger piece of fluff is on the lens.
Try not to spit or, but use compressed air. Otherwise you might make it worse.

whats wrong with compressed air?

I worded that sentence wrong.
I meant to say: "use compressed air in case you spit too much".

Ah, ok then :)
