IMAPI for ME

Have read previous search items regarding Windows Media Player giving error message about "no device capable of bruning discs were found...... I would like to try the IMAPI enable but have been unable to find specific directions on how to do this from Microsoft ME. I have found some very specific directions for XP but these prompts are not applicable to ME. I have media player 9 installed. However, if I uninstall and go to previous version I still get the same message even though it was previously working ok. Sorry for the bother and thanks in advance for any thoughts and assistance.
