CD/DVD drive problem

Hi there,

I am currently experiencing a problem when trying to burn CDs.
My G drive (MATSHITA BD-MLT UJ-220S ATA Device) is recognised and properties for this include a Burning tab, however no program I have for burning will allow this drive to bun. Roxio EMC 9 cannot find a drive and WMP looks like its burning an audio CD then has an error for every file (Windows has chosen drive G as the default for burning and shows this as the only available drive).
I have removed Lower Filters following using regedit as described above, and now no Upper or Lower filters now exist.
I have also uninstalled the DVD/CD drive from Device Manager and rebooted to see if this would resolve the problem, however it hads not.
There are no unknown or hidden devices found here either, nor any exclamation marks in yellow boxes.
Within My Computer, I have a separate CD Drive (H) which when I right click has "Install or run program" as the first option, and on trying to click open states: "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel.".
I have been unable to burn for months and restore points don't seem to resolve the issue either.
Is there another solution that can allow my laptop (Sony VGN-AR51M) running Vista x32 SP2 to burn discs or even allow me to play CDs/DVDs again?

Thanks in advance!

Meant to add - Click to DVD BD also cannot find a drive.

ETA - I can play DVDs via WMP and Blu-ray Discs via Win DVD, so playing CDs and any type of burning are what I am currently unable to do.
