CD/DVD Problem

[SiCo]

hi, ive got a problem

I have two drives:
Toshiba DVD-Rom
Iomega CDRW

and they are not working in XP anymore, they worked perfectly when i upgraded to XP about 3 weeks ago, now they arent "responding" Device manager says ! - Troubleshooter says it might be a corrupt key in the registry. Ive tried everything that i can think of, i dont really want to use system restore tbh.

can anyone help me on this?

PC Specs:

Amd 1.3gz CPU
384mb DDR Mem
Geforce3
2x HDDs
Win XP Home Edition


thanks

Go into device manager and remove both of them .

Reboot

XP will detect them again and should be all ok ..


System restore is a really good tool for situations like this

already done that, i find the new hardware but cant install it, ive checked both manufacturers sites, but they dont need new drivers, it said something about a damaged value in the reg. anyone know if XP has a regfix program? or where can i download it?

Thanks

you using nero, sounds like the error that some versions of nero generated on install on XP systems

 

[SiCo]

correct, i installed nero, burned a coupla times, then it didnt reconise anymore, so i uninstalled nero.

which steps should i take now?

gonna find a reg check/fixer


sorry for the late reply
