The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

showing, cd, device, manager, cdrom

I installed a 9100 HP cd-writer onto my computer running ME. I don't know a lot about compters so if you respond please speak in lamence terms :O) I had this working before but when I restored my system recentally I had to remove the drive and replace the old one. I only have one slot to put the CDROM in so I have to switch them out. Anyways the CDROM is not listed under the device manager and I can not get it to work at all. When I try to start anything it says please insert into drive M which was what it was under when it was working. Now it is not showing up at all. I am so clueless. PLEASE HELP!?!  -Gretchen
