media player 11 doesn't recognize burner

When I try to burn a disk, media player says 'connect a burner and restart
the player'. When I go into options then devices, my burner is recognized
and is working ok.
The burner works with other programmes like Nero 7, but sometimes its just
easier to be able to burn from within media player.
Originally i had media player 10 but I updated to media player 11 hoping
that would fix the problem - it didn't.
Also, I have a 2 month old computer, and I had been using the burner in
window media player fine. Then one day it just didn't work !!
Help much appreciated,
Thanks

a ps to my plea for help.
I've noticed a lot of posts saying they have the same problem of media
player not recognizing devices, with a lot having the same specific problem
as mine. None of them have had any response. Perhaps microsoft needs to
address this issue.

I wish they would. Sucks. So many of us have this issue.
