OK, I take it back. Windows Media Player is alive but rather poorly on my PC under Windows 10. The good news... I managed to get my DVD/CD drive working again by following Method 2 here http://www.askvg.com/optical-drives-are-not-showing-in-my-computer/. The bad news... My external hard drive disappeared. The good news... I closed down, unplugged the drive, restarted and plugged it back in again. It reappeared AND, it didn't push out the DVD/CD drive!!!. Why do I get a sense of achievement by succeeding in doing something I shouldn't have had to do in the first place? P.S. I have acquired a G: drive which seems to be my printer with zero space on it. Weird.
