What does the dos like window show when you try?

This is what the dos box says:

* Running ePSXe emulator version 1.4.0.
* Memory handlers init.
* ePSXe: PSX BIOS loaded [C:\EPSXE\Bios\SCPH7001.BIN].
* Init Core W2k cdrom ... * First/Last track: 1 1
* Track 1: (DATA) - Start 0: (00,02,00) - Length 69:59
[D] ok
* Doing init gpu...
* Gpu open...
* Direct input init ok.
* Init core spu ... ok
* NTSC cdrom detected.

And then it just sits there with a black screen and no cdrom activity.

Everything looks fine from here...
You can try changing the bios version (1001 or 7502 would be recommended), but I can't understand why you're having problems. I'm using W2k and just ran a cd to check (RE2 btw) and it ran fine. You might need a aspi layer (i think you may find one at www.aldostools.com, not sure though), but first, try setting your cdrom to the actual letter and not the option "First available" in the cdrom options. Yet before trying the aspi layer solution, try also the latest pete's cdrom plugin, i heard it can run without a aspi layer instalation. (hope not saying too much bull****

)

which plugin are you using? XP doesn't like pete's cdrom plugin and DVD drives (It's reads with huge pauses that make it appear to not be working) and the only other plugin that will work is the internal win2K .

I tried using both win2k cdrom plugins with no luck.... I tried changing it from first drive to the actual drive letter with still no luck. I went to the site mentioned above for the aspi layer but couldn't find it... any other suggestions?

I've installed the final XP Professional, and all of my plugins (including the cdr plugin) are
working fine on my system... that "huge pauses", as I've mentioned in the cdr version.txt,
are coming from a plugin-unfriendly cd audio handling in epsxe with nt/w2k/xp... you
have to turn off the CDDA sound option in epsxe to use external cdr plugins.

I installed an aspi layer and it still won't run the cd roms... So i guess that makes me S.O.L. doesnt it

I fixed it... i just needed to delete the registry entrys that epsxe made and then reinstall it
