cd/dvd rom drive problem
Bought a new pc two weeks ago. Today the cd/dvd rom drive will not show up in windows. When i go into device manager and update the driver the computer keeps telling me that the most updated driver is installed, but yet ity doesn`t show up in windows and won`t play a disc when inserted.

1. Click on START button, the click on RUN.
2. Enter REGEDIT and press Enter.
3. When REGEDIT starts, open up the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Class/
{4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}.
4. After clicking on {4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} you should see two settings on the right-hand side:
"Upperfilters"
"Lowerfilters"
Click on each of them, press DELETE and click YES.
Or you can download this reg file to do the same thing. Or CDGone Variant.
