Digital Setting for Music CD Rip and Play

I just purchased my first PC with Vista and I cannot play or rip music cd's.

In Real and Media both refer to an error that system isn't configured for

digital. I followed the instructions to correct but when I get to the spot

to select 'digital' it is already checked.

I go to 'Sync" then 'More Options' than select DVD for my device and then go

to properties, and 'Digital' is already checked. I found this by trial as

the authorized instructions on getting to that point are not exactly what

comes up as you go through the instructions.
