kindly refrain from laughing when u read this......I know squiddly about computers......

my floppy drive and my CD rom have stopped working......I have no idea why....I have looked in ....device manager.....and it says.....both devices working properly......any comments or suggestions would be appreciated..

I run Win 98...with 128 ram and a PII.....which works quite well apart from the two dead items as described above....

ta much
