cd-rom failed after update.

[popsoda]

My cd-rom drive went dead after i went thru windows
update. "Dead" as in it would not read any type of disc i
put in although its status is active and "working
properly" as indicated by the device manager. y is this
happening?. the funny thing is, it works fine before the
windows update. is it some device problem or memory
access problem? i juz couldn't find anything wrong with
the drive, even when i took it out to check for defects
which wasn't supposed to happen in the first place.
anyone out there can provide some advice?

Did you right click on it select properties and set the type of cd?

FYI (this is a long shot):

There are two updates for Windows Media Player - one
which is a critical patch (828026) and one (832353) which
fixes problems with URL script commands after
installation of 828026 as well as this problem here:
(830846) Windows Product Updates May Stop Responding or
May Use Most or All the CPU Resources.
