Hi AppleG5. I had the same prob with my Acer T180 with Vista Home Premium. Go
to support sight http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/kb/314060
When the site opens, print the pages off and then follow the instructions on
the page, which will tell you how to get into the registry and delete the
Upper and Lower Filter, which is causing the drive not to work. It sure
worked for me.

Hi, I'm AppleG5, I installed Windows Vista on my eMachines PC a few weeks
ago, and I need help.

Windows Vista cannot detect my CD Drive!!!

I looked in device manager and saw that the DVD/CD-ROM Drive:
LITE-ON COMBO SOHC-4832K ATA Device
had the following problem:
Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration
information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and
to see if there is a solution available.

I checked windows update, no luck. I tried updating the driver, nada. I
don't know what is wrong!!
Please help. Thank you SO MUCH in advance for any help.
