updated DVD drive firmware, now Vista cannot find drivers
Hi,
I just purchased a new Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, it has a TS-L633C DVD-RW drive and is running Vista Home Premium, 32bit. I updated the DVD drive firmware to the latest available on Dell's website (original D300, current DW10), which is supposedly Windows 7 capable. Now Vista is nagging me every time it starts that the DVD burner drivers need to be updated. The DVD doesn't need drivers, it uses cdrom.sys. The drive otherwise functions perfectly. If I tell it to "ask me later", it leaves me alone, but how do I get it to stop opening the New Hardware wizard every time I restart ? Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, I am. Just as a note as well, I did finally contact Dell support (last resort), and they claimed the Vista installation was corrupted. I am now reloading Vista, and it seems to (for now) have corrected the problem. The DVD drive appears "proper" in the device manager, and there are no more nag messages for drivers, even with the Dell updated firmware. So my advice would be the following: 1. update your firmware to Dell's newest version at your own risk 2. if you do get messed up, then reload Vista, unfortunately the only solution (so far) Hopefully that's the last I've heard of this issue, but I'm still crossing my fingers. I hope this information helps somebody else. Chipsndukes
