Pioneer 106 cant detect CDs or play them anymore!

[maxxxpain]

Ive never noticed this problem before with any drive ive ever used.

Ive been using the pioneer 106 for maybe 2 months now with no problems.
But all of a sudden now i notice when i put in a CD either an original or a Cdr copy , the machine cannot detect it. If i try to play the cd in windows the tracks wont appear. Also if i explore the cd through the dvd rom icon in my computer folder all i get is a track 1 icon in there, no other tracks showing up. When i insert a film or a playstation dvd i dont get this problem.

I would guess this is some kind of software problem confusing the drive??? Surely if the laser was starting to fail it simply wouldnt read anything right?
