Okay, I just got my laptop back from being reformatted, just to clear that up.

When I go and put a CD in the disk drive, and click on my computer, the CD does not show up? It did earlier but not now.

Please help. thanks.

I just checked on my device manager and on my disk drive there is a little yellow triangle with exclamation point in it.

Have you tried going into the Device Manager, uninstall the player, reboot, and see if windows will recognize it?

Is there any more information via the Device manager. (Right click and select properties and click through the tabs) "Driver not installed" etc?

I did a system restore and that fixed it. now I have another problem. I had uninstalled some programs before I did the system restore, but since I did the restore the programs have re-appeared and I can't uninstall them now? Any suggestions?
