DVD/CD-Rom missing
With my PC I do have 2 internal DVD/CD-ROM and another external via USB.
All 3 disappeared from "My Computer" and from "Disc Manager" and I am now unable to use anyone of them. But in "Device Manager" they are shown with a yellow mark and a "!". If I uninstall anyone of them and reboot it will appear again in "Device Manager" with that mark. If I try to update its controller the Windows search Internet and a message says that best controller for it is already installed. But it is still not appearing in My Computer. All other hardware and programs are working OK including external storage, printer, and scanner. I do have Windows Vista Ultimate. I will be grateful if anyone helps me. Nunes da Silva |

Hello Rcik
I tried it again yesterday night. The lower filter was back but deleting it didn't help the matter... Thanks anyway Ania "Rick Rogers" wrote: Hi, If it worked before, then do it again. The problem is that some software installed on your system is corrupting these entries. Likely it's some software that uses or can use the optical drives. It's replacing the filter drivers with its own version. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Ania Pankiewicz" Ania wrote in message ...

DVD/CD-Rom missing
If the drive is missing then google a fix: cdgone (can use the xp one, worked on mine). Then run the registry patch. Restart the system. And the drive would be back. As far as the issue for the cd drive not getting detected. Please mention what is the cd/dvd burning application you are using. Because patches are available. If it is drag to disc: *'Roxio Patch' (http://docs.roxio.com/patches/d2d3290.exe). *If the drive is not getting detected in roxio then use: 'http://images.roxio.com/en/support/pxengine3_00_58a.zip' (http://images.roxio.com/en/support/pxengine3_00_58a.zip) Hope This Helps ! ! ! ! :geek: -- tanuj_chadha |

YES the fix is for XP but works fine on vista as well. You try the website 'Welcome To Gur.in Your Complete Windows Troubleshooting Guide' (http://www.gur.in) go to the registry tweaks section & download the cdgone patch. then restart the system. And the system should work fine Hope This Helps ! ! ! ! :geek: -- tanuj_chadha |
