OK.  It is silly things like this that bites me in the rear.  Is your 
user added to the cdrom or similar groups?

One thing you could try, run the program as root in a terminal, Konsole 
here for me.  That will eliminate a permissions issue real quick and you 
can look for errors too.  If it works, then it is just a permissions 
problem.  If it doesn't work, then it is something with the program 
itself or hardware related.  Let's hope for the permissions one.  It's 
easier to fix and you don't have to take the sides off the puter 
either.  If it is the program, well, who knows when that could get fixed.

Ma'am. < tips hat >
