Windows Media Player 10 or 11 won't find CD drives

[domi104]

Program asks me to press F5 to refresh drives this does not work. Help if you have overcome this difficulty.      My Computer is a Wintergreen Systems with a 2.53 GHz intel pentium processor. It has PC2100 512 DDR memory (one stick). It operates with Microsoft XP Home. It has a 80 Gig harddrive UDMA. I have broadband internet and a WinTV card. I have two burning drives (which "My Computer" recognizes.) a DVD+R Drive and a CD Drive (I'm not sure of their pin placements)Master, slave or ? which comes first? I suspect the WinTv card and software so, I am going to remove them. Nope that didn't work.

Much more information about and history of the problem is needed. \


See below.

Take out the WinTV card and see what happens. It has no beariung on master slave, so pick one for master and one for slave. Just to be safe, put the one on the far end of the cable as master.

Now restart the machine and see what happens.

thanks for responding, I've done the things you've asked. Cept I pinned the drives on CS or "Computer Select" and they are both recognized by "My Computer" but not WMP 10 which I have currently installed.
Also I've tried to install I-Tunes/QuickPlayer, they're Installed but refuse to Open when Clicked on Icons.
{ Exeption code:  0xc0000005 } whatever this means? So I try to Uninstall Quicktime and she says "Fatal Error".  Now I turn off "System Restore" and I scan everything for viruses, nothing. Perhaps
my XP OS Registery Key is damaged from some previously removed bugs? just speculating of couse.
