Tom, Am I remembering correctly that you are using Window-Eyes? Window-Eyes has some trouble with the "rip" button in Windows Media Player, but there are some ways around the problem. The rip button shows up on the "Now Playing" screen which you can bring up by pressing CONTROL-3. However, if you have a few to rip, there is a Windows Media Player option to automatically rip a CD when you put one in and this let's you avoid the button.
