Windows vista updated and now my optiarc dvd rw drive won't work

You will have to uninstall the drive and reinstall again. I think the drivers for the drive is not properly installed. But if all this does not work, then I think you will have to do a system restore.

Best wishes

Same problem: Optiarc won't read a DVD, but CDs are fine

Clean the lens using a cotton buds using a dish washing liquid(dont wet it too much).Then rinse it with tap water and let it dry for a couple of minutes.

Optiarc dvd+-rw ad7580s can't read cd's only dvd's

Please use a lens cleaning kit to clean the lens inside the disc drive itself. The drive reads dvd's and cd's at different speeds so a dirty lens could read one but not the other.
