DVD drive stops working after uninstalling programs
I had trouble with my dvd (HP lightscribe DVD/RW)drive dissapearing after 2
days on a new copy of windows vista home premium, on a new (HP pavilion) computer. I found a solution of going into the registry, exporting the registry folder for the drive, then deleting the lower/upper value lines. After restarting, the drive was back. Now my drive disapears when I unistall software programs I don't use. Device manager shows it's there with a (code 10). Is there a way I can fix this? i would like to be able to unistall programs without my DVD drive disapearing. Thanks in advance for any help |

DVD drive stops working after uninstalling programs
I have a similar problem with my two DVD AOpen and LG, both DVD drives are
disappearing without apparent reasons. I use to just restart the computer and then they reappeared but for some reasons now, they are not reappearing anymore. In the Device Manager, they are showned with a yellow exclamation point. When trying to update driver, I get the message that they already use the most updated driver. This seems to be a Vista problem. Can anyone come to my help? "compboy" wrote in message ...
