DVD Drives
Seemingly lots of web traffic about vista not seeing dvd drives. I found a
solution from microsoft. It was the regedit and change filters. This was for upper and lower. And was most often associated with a speciffic kodak program. So I did the change and found out the program using upper filters was dream scenes !! Seems I can modify the filters and use the dvd at the expense of dream scenes, how about another solution? |

DVD Drives
Bill,
Are you sure that removing the filters hampers use of Dream Scenes? Accoring to the information I have, removing the filters fixes a problem caused by certain 3rd party drivers that burn data to CD/DVD-ROM drives. Here is what I know: Many third-party programs that control CD or DVD burning (as well as some player applications) install CD- or DVD-ROM filter device drivers into Windows. These filter drivers are meant to allow for low-level hooks into the hardware, to allow for functions such as packet writing (where a CD-R/W or DVD-/+RW can be written incrementally, like a hard disk). These filter drivers sometimes have problems that can cause the CD or DVD drive to stop working correctly. The device entry for the CD or DVD drive in the Device Manager may show up with an error descriptor that reads "The device could not start." Additionally, there may be an error message that reads "One of the filter drivers for this device is invalid." The devices themselves do not show up in Explorer. Error codes for the device include code 31, code 32, code 19 or code 39, and sometimes the even more ominous warning "Your registry might be corrupted" appears. Fixing the problem simply involves deleting the filter entries for the third-party device drivers. Could you reference the information you have? We could probably learn something.
