Does the drive work with any disc?
Please try this,
Let's have you uninstall the DVD-Drive and then have you reboot and let windows reinstall the drivers for it. To do this, do the following:
- Go to START-->RUN and type devmgmt.msc
- In the new window that appears, click the + symbol next to CD/DVD-ROM Drives.
- Locate the drive in question and right-click it and choose UNINSTALL.
- Once it's finishing uninstalling, reboot your computer.
----------------------------
If after rebooting you are still having problems, try the following:
Click Start then Run and type regedit...click "Ok"
In the left pane, expand (click +) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SYSTEM, then CurrentControlSet, then Control, then Class, and click on {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Right click on {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} and choose Export. Name this file "filters" and save it to your desktop. This file can be deleted when it is determined it is no longer needed.
In the right pane, if either UpperFilters or LowerFilters are present, right click on it and choose Delete...accept the deletion. Delete both if they are both present.
Close Registry Editor and reboot.
----------------------------
If after doing that your drive still doesn't show up, please download CDGone from HERE. Once it's downloaded, extract the files to your desktop and open the READ ME FIRST.TXT file and follow the instructions there.
Post back with how things are going after doing the above.

The purple text in my post are links for you to click on
Computer CPUs are designed so that the address of any piece of data in virtual memory is tracked by a single integer register. So the total amount of data the computer can keep in its working field depends on the width of these registers. A 32 bit register size enables 232 addresses (4 GB) to be referenced. Switching to a 64 bit register increases the available address space to (approximately) 16 TB. This is why 32 bit operating systems can only use up to 4 GB of RAM, and 64 bit operating systems can use much more. (I have a 32 bit system)

And I dont have any virtual drives.
I finally got my Single Player to work! My younger brother had the answer all along!
Well Activision kept blaming my hardware, and windows is not the problem. I can't believe they pay those guys at Customer Suppport and NOT you PEOPLE HERE!!!
Have a great day.
