Computer will no longer play DVD's or recognise they are in the computer. Have tried troubleshooters and updating drivers but computer doesn't seem to recognise that it has a CD/DVD ROM DRIVE.

Not really sure how long it's been like this as has been a good month or so since I tried to play one. I have an Aspire 5750G laptop.

Any help much appreciated

Hi swindonforever!

If you've tried all the troubleshooters, and updated drivers, it might be worth re-installing Windows. But if it is still not recognised, then the optical drive will be at fault, and will need replacing.
