How do I go about putting a cd or dvd I have into my computer so I can listen
and watch them on my computer? I haven't been able to figure out this new
computer. I have a gateway w/ vista home edition. HELP!!!

Take the CD or DVD out of the case. Open one of the optical drives (most
computers come with two of them these days) and put the disk, label side up,
in the tray. Gently push on the tray and it will then close itself. The
disk should now auto play. If it does not, open Windows Media Player, or
your DVD player software, and play the disk. Or, in Windows Explorer, or
even in My Computer or just simply Computer in Windows Vista, click on the
drive that shows a disk in it.

I find it difficult to believe that you can't figure out how to play a CD or
DVD on your computer.
