No this is not a driver issue in any case Windows nativly has the drivers for CD ROM drives etc.
Drivers are an interface between the hardware device and the operating system and if the driver was not present you would not see your drive at all.
As has been mentioned if you could explain the CD you are using which has a problem with a file extention problem then the file association can be set or software installed if needed.
Another question has the CD in question with the problem ever run correctly on your PC before?
If so have you installed/removed any software lately?
Kind regards,
Martin.
