Can you actually access CD/DVD's via windows explorer ?

Try using the Control Panel/Device Manager.
Re-install the driver, or remove the device, then check for new hardware after restarting the computer.
If that doesnt work, do a google search for 'dvd upperfilters'
It's a long shot, but worked for me in the past, hence the suggestion.
