It seems to be that your cd players driver were corrupted.

Do the following which may help you with your problem.

Right Click the my computer icon on your desktop

scroll down and click on properties

in the properties window, click on device manager

look for the icon for your cd rom and right click and select properties.

In the properties sheet select on reinstall drivers...

this might prompt you specify a location or insert a floopy disk or cd...

Specify the cd roms driver location or insert the floppy disk that came with you cd rom

reinstall the driver , restart your computer and your cd player should work once you have rebooted.
