I have the same problem, but only on a pc with Windows 98.
In windows 98 you canot set administrator rights so I think that something else must be the case.

Do you or someone else have found allready a solution ??????

MediaMonkey doesn't seem to play from the CD/DVD reader

It can see the audio CD title, track numbers, and track length, but all are grayed out.

If I try to play the album, the tracks try to play but fail - no error, just skips to the next song.

If I right-click on the CD drive in the tree and select "Get Album Info from Freedb" I have seen the following errors:
"No Audio CD was found. Please insert a CD." or "The media for the Freedb query is unavailable."

If I right-click on the CD drive in the tree and select "Rip audio CD" I get the following error:
"Access violation at address 06932FF2 in module 'hpCDBurn.dll'. Read of address is 00000000."

Problem is only with my user on the computer. Logged in as administrator there are no issues.
As my user Windows Media Player plays CDs fine.

It used to work great - not sure what changed!

Thanks for trying, but I found that already and it was not helpful. I am not experiencing anything in that article. Why would WMP work and not MM? The "D:\" drive (CD/DVD) does not even show up in the tree on the left. In "File Types" Mediamonkey is default for CD audio. Arrrgh!
