Whenever I pop in an audio CD into either my DVD or CDRW drive, an error alert box pops up with: Access to the specified device, path, or file is denied. Actually, I think there's two because when I click OK, there seems to be another one behind it and I have to click OK again. But then it goes ahead plays OK, it just very annoying. I can't think of anything I did that may've caused this, but I suppose I must've done something.

Another weird thing I noticed with audio CDs: my CDRW seems to be playing as the Auxiliary device. I had to go into Windows Playcenter and un-mute the Auxiliary to hear it play. If I use cdplayer.exe and hit Mute nothing happens (because it's muting CD Audio), but if I un-mute the sound stops (because it apprently automatically mutes Auxiliary when you do that)

Any ideas what the heck I've done, and how to get it right again?
