If your description of your problem is acurrate, then I would be inclined to say no. (The hotfix is for a problem that is described as "programs unexpectedly stop during initialization without providing any error messages". Your problem is described as "there is no way that Nero or XP recognize that the CD is inserted". These are two very distinctly different problems.) Windows Update KB917422 was issued in August of 2006. If you run update as regularly as you should, it was probably installed several months ago. Unless you delayed installing it until recently or your problem started months ago, then I would be inclined to say no. If you rolled your system back to a restore point before the problem started and the problem went away then I would be inclined to say that the "LAST FIX" is the culprit. If the LAST FIX is the update in question I would be inclined to say yes. I do not think it would do any harm to install the hotfix in any case.
