| Have you repaired permissions and run a repair on the hard drive?

 Cd player gone! NIXGEEK-What if I do a stand alone download and install of leopard 10.5.4? do you think it will put a cd/dvd player back in the system preferences and work? Thanks ahead! Dickster-------------------------------------------- |

| Does it work at all with any other disc? Is the optical drive showing up at all in System Profiler? Is there anything in the logs that would point to a faulty optical drive? Last resort, have you thought about doing an Archive & Install to see if this resolves the problem? Again, this would be a last resort. Sounds like the optical drive might have gone belly-up IMO.

| Before you go Archiving & Installing or anything drastic, try deleting the cache for the System Preferences icons... close System Preferences, then: 1) Navigate to your User folder 2) Navigate to Library 3) Navigate to Caches 4) Delete com.apple.preferencepanes.cache Re-launch System Preferences and see if the icon returns.
