CAN'T READ CD-AUDIO

Panic!
[:0].
Via File->open cda files it just imports the actual cda file, not the audio itself. Via File->extract audio from cd it doesn't 'see' the tracks on the cd at all.
I tried reinstalling both the cd-rom players and Cooledit, even deleting it's folder in Regedit.
Win XP, soundcard Pulsar 2 (creamware)

Thanks for reading&replying!
