My problem is, I want to burn some pictures on a CD, but my laptop does not recognize that I put in a CD. When i put the CD in, my computer starts working, stops, and nothing happened. My Driver is a MATSHITA UJDA740 DVD/CDRW. Any help is appreciated.

4. Go to Device Manager, click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll see two items:

Right click on each of them, and click Uninstall. Confirm.
Restart Windows. They'll be automatically reinstalled.
