Have you upgraged the OS or installed a new program about the time the drive stopped working?

hey man!
i had installed winamp a few days ago, so i have gone and uninstaled it. Still the same problem.
It says "windows media player can not play the dvd because a compatiable dvd decoder is not installed on your computer"
