Default CD-ROM device works in DOS, recognized in WinXP, but won't read or play disks

I have an Asus DRW 24B1ST DVD RW device, was working fine for the last year.
On the same computer I made an new WinXP sp3 installation. The unit works
fine in DOS, I can install Windows from it, run bootCD disks, no problem.
But once in WinXP, although it's recognized in Device Manager and shown as
working properly, when I put in a disk and try to read it from My Computer,
I get a window (Z that is blank. Autorun disks also don't do anything.
I've tried many different disks that are known to be good, that work on
other computers and on this one previously...but nothing will work. Ztree
also can't access a disk in the unit. Same with GSpot.

I'm pretty sure it's not the disks, or the Asus device. But I don't know
how to troubleshoot this or find a solution. Can someone help me with this?

Thanks, John
