Windows Media Update 11 problems
Recently I updated my media player from 10 to 11. Then the fun started....
My laptop would not play CDs at all, even ones previously uploaded into my music file. It would however play DVD and read CD-roms.
:ugh
I have uninstalled Media Player 11, and rolled back to 10.
This does not appear to have fixed the problem. Does any body have any ideas before the rubber mallet comes out

Thanks for the replies so far.

The problem is the driver is not even registering that fact that they are audio CDs, so I can't even play them let along associate them.There is no problem with DVDs though, and the self test fuction on my driver says all is ok.

Under <tools-options-file types> I notice on my system that the "music cd playback" box is not ticked by default (I don't use media player for music) could it be that which is the problem?. Right click on the top left icon to find tools.
Tick the box and let us know how it works.

Try downloading the above codec package.
Seems to have most that MS don't want you to have.
Have no problems playing just about anything, HD DVD, CD, DVD etc, etc.

May be of some help
I had a strange thing happen after the update where I couldn't play .mpeg or .mpg until I changed the file type to .mpe, scoured forums and found a mention of Samsung media center or some such thing. I thought, I haven't got that, but one of my daughters had just got a new phone and sure enough that programme was in the add/remove software list, removed and all healed up.
