CDs no longer recognized in iTunes

Question

Hey there...
My iTunes no longer shows or recognizes that I have a CD in my disc drives. It was working fine up until a day or two ago. I can load a CD, see it in "My Computer" and even Windows Media Player, but iTunes fails to recognize it.
I've followed the suggestions here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93444 to no avail. This does not solve the problem for me. Also, I shouldn't have to apply a firmware update as iTunes was playing and importing from CDs just fine a few days ago.
Any ideas?

Sure....here you go:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

iTunes 7.0.2.16
CD Driver 2.0.6.1
CD Driver DLL 2.0.6.1

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
