Default 'Prepare This Blank Disc' Problem

PC recently purchased with Vista Home Premium pre-loaded. DVD/CD ROM drive
has stopped autoplaying, and windows explorer won't work on it (it will still
work on the hard drive though). A photoviewer, AD/CD will allow me to
see/explore the files on the disk, though. I have checked that the relevant
options are selected for Autoplay. I have tried uninstalling the CD ROM and
then rebooting, but although Vista goes through the reinstall process and
says it is OK, the problem remains. I have tried restoring defaults and then
rebooting - same problem. I have looked at the Registry entry but it looks
as though it is set to 1 (although I'm a complete novice). I'm completely at
my wits end with this one. Can anyone help?
