I run Windows XP home, and have 2 odd problems:

Double-clicking on my CD drive gives error message "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options Control panel" but if I look there, I find 3 options inside File Types-Advanced and I cannot amend any of them. Do I need to tweak the registry?

And I keep losing the ability to play sounds. Hardware manager says it's ok, working with no conflicts but if I remove and reinstall the driver, it works fine for a bit. It's a C-Media AC97 Audio device ( part of the motherboard). Have tried to download an updated driver from the website manytimes, but I think it's corrupted. Any thoughts?
