Windows Vista & CD/DVD Drives

Vista the new windows system, dynamic and full of surprisses! After working with it for a week and before I downloaded Service Pack 1, my CD/DVD failed.

The computer didnot recognise the cd or dvd drives anymore. Why I don't know.

But after many hours of tearing of hair serching through help forums I came up with a solution. Now it worked immediatly on my computer and I'm over the moon.

I take no responsibility for anyone or any other computer.

But if you have got to the end of the road try this!

1. Set a Restore Point in case it doesn't work.

2. Follow this list exactly and at the end Delete.

Click on the Windows Logo in the task bar and go to:

SEARCH

regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

SYSTEM

Control

Class

{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Then:

on the right you see a number of red square-like - logo's....

And

"ab"

lower-filter clock - DELETE

Then:

Re-Start
