Default DVD Writer installation problems

Hello,
I recently installed a new DVD writer - LG GSA 4163B. When Windows
starts it comes up with the found new hardware wizard. I ask it to
install the software automatically but it comes back to say that a
driver could not be found and I have to cancel it. I then get the little
pop up saying that the hardware is not installed properly and might not
work. The thing is, the drive more or less works ok - I can burn DVDs
for example, the problem is every time I restart Windows I have to go
through the found new hardware wizard which is a pain. Also, when I put
a DVD or Audio CD in the drive, instead of launching the appropriate
application to run what's on the disc, the folder comes up to explore
the disc and I have to start the software manually. Additionally in the
device manager there is the yellow exclamation mark symbol next to the
drive.
The drive didn't come with any drivers and the manual says it doesn't
need any as it will install automatically.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andy Hoe
