Hi
Have you tried the CD that came with the DVD drive the drivers should be on it, or you could try going on line to find them,or you could try going back on a restore point that should get you working again, or you could go down the line and back up all your work and do a complete reinstall of you system but don't forget to save your work as you will lose it going down this road

--------------------
Any help is a blessing in disguise !!
