Can't see CD Drives in Win2000

For some reason I can't get windows 2000 to see my CD Drives. They are both set up correctly and were working not long ago but I think someone has changed a setting or something :( (probably to stop me burning CD's! heh) Would appreciate any suggestions :o)

Have you installed Windows Media Player 9 (beta)? This also installs Roxio CD burning software and amazingly prevents my CD drives from appearing in Windows. If you disable the Roxio software everything returns to normal. Well done Microsoft!

Yeah! I have the Roxio software installed! I'll try getting rid of it, see if that cures the problem. Thanks! :p
