CD-ROM Drive is acting wierd...HELP?

Ok, about 10 minutes ago I put in some new RAM (1GB Memory Module Kit) and now I am trying to play a game. I opened the CD-Drive and put it in...nothing happened so I clicked on the icon and it says please enter the play disc? What happened and can anyone help me?

The drive opens and close but wont let me play for some reason...

If you open 'My Computer' does it:

1~ see the CD-ROM Drive? if YES read #2. If NO check to see if the drive light come on? If Yes, possibly either CD or Drive is bad. If NO, open PC case
and check the CD-ROM drive's IDE and power cables, if both firmly in place try different power/IDE cables.

2~ show the game CD (as inserted) in the CD-ROM drive?

 

Ok I looked and the CD-ROM drive doesnt show up when I go under 'My Computer'. What should I do.. It worked like just a little while ago I dont see what went wrong?

 

Well, I was playing with this program I have called PC Wizard and I got it to recognize the CD Drive. It showed up and now its working. Thanks for your help.
