Can't play music CD's after latest Microsoft Patches

I don't know if this is simply a coincidence, or. if in fact one of the
latest patches affected both my CD drive and DVD drive. After installing
the latest six or seven critical updates, neither my CD R/RW, or my DVD/CD
player will play music CD's. They read data and installation programs, but
not audio CD's. Media Play version 10 shows that the music is playing.

My sound system, subwoofer and two speakers, on an old Microsoft Windows 98
Digital Sound System, plays everything else on the internet and mp3 files
saved to my hard drive.

Is anyone else having this problem. It is strange that two different drives
would be having the same problem at the same time.

Any input would sincerely be appreciated. Thank you.

Updates were just installed on my computer and now I am unable to access
videos on CMT loaded. I get a message saying that I must be running on
windows 2000 or windows xp. I am on windows me. I thought this was the same
or close enough to windows 2000. I did not have any problem before the
updates were installed.
