DVD Drive ignores disk changes

Bit of a weird one here and im stuck.
My DVD drive (LITE-ON DVD-RW LDW 401S) records to cd's and dvd's no problem and will read disks with no problem.
My problem is if i have a disk in the drive and i want to insert a new disk the drive will not change the information to the new disk.
e.g. disk 1 is in the drive and is full of text files, i insert disk 2 into the drive wich has video files on it but the drive still thinks i have disk 1 in the drive with the text files.
If i open up the disk with disk 2 in, my pc still shows disk 1 stuff and if i click on anything it says please insert disk into drive.
The only way i can get the drive to recongnise the new disk and data is to restart my pc or disable/re-enable the dvd drive.
Help please.
 
It sounds like a windows explorer issue. There's malware which can effect the operation of explorer. do a scan with Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware and a virus scan with your AV application, see if that shows anything.
Also try this: Start/run, now type sfc /scannow (there is a space before the /)
This will replace any missing Windows system dlls that some apps might have wrote over.
