Not very helpful in typical windows style....
It could be anything. Even a scratched or dirty disc.
I assume you've shut down and rebooted the PC?

Yes done that no luck

I think we're gonna struggle to fix that remotely.
If you've associated the codecs correctly you shouldn't have any problems.
Is it every CD or just some?
Try one again that you've already ripped to see if it's a system update that's messed up.

All cd's

Something's changed but only you know when it last updated or what has changed.
Any new programs or apps installed etc.
Roll back to a previous restore point when it ;ast worked may be the only way.....
