I've given it a try, and it seems to work better than the two previous tools I've tried. Thanks for the suggestion.

My Asus CD-S500/A (V 1.4C) CD-ROM drive often spins too fast for comfort, resulting in files/discs not being read properly. I understand that the firmware on this drive cannot be changed, but I am looking for a permanent way of decreasing the drive's read rate so that it generates fewer errors. I've tried the Asus CDSpeed and Nero DriveSpeed utilities, but I hate the fact that I have to configure these utilities every time I insert a disc into the drive. Are there other tools that I could use?<br />
<br />
Any help or insight would be most appreciated.

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
