Problems playing audio CD's

I am using Win 98 B on a Compaq Armada 1700 laptop. I dont regularly
use my computer to play audio CD's, and if I do use my computer for
audio, its usually to export a CD track to a Mp3 file and play that way.
Back in July I installed the latest version of Quicktime for Windows 98
at that time. Quicktime took over all my audio files that normally
played with Windows Media Player 7 (sorry last version that is
compatible with the Windows CE HPC2000 OS, so I cant upgrade).

Well just today I inserted many audio discs in my computer and
discovered that they would not play. The CD basicially did nothing, and
when I opened up Windows Media Player 7, the program crashed. Or when I
opened up the CD Player app in the accessories/multimedia menu it was
unable to play the CD. I received no error message, just a drive in use
message. This is not a hardware problem, as regular CD-Roms work just
fine.

This is not a CD problem as CD's plays just fine in my stereo


Thanks for some assistance.
