HI ! Not long ago I had the same problem ( I have Vista installed) I tried to do all that things with Upper and Lower Filters and it worked !!! As NIKE says : JUST DO IT !
I have windows 98 se, on an older computer, that all of a sudden, I saw no sign of my cd rom any where on my computer. Does your explanation work on windows 98 se also?

Hi there, I have VISTA and have just today installend Norton 360 v3 and my cd/dvd drive disappeared. I have tried the above but can't seem to see any upper or lower filters listed. Norton deny that is a fault caused by them. Can anybody help?
Regards.
Regards.
I have removed the upper filters numerous times, but they keep coming back, I don't know they get back in there, but they do. I started having this problem after I installed Norton 360. I talked with them, they blamed it on Microsoft. Norton sent me the solution on how to delete the upper filter. Has anyone had the same experience of the filters coming back.

I wanted to thank you heartily for posting your solution to the problem caused by Norton 360 (version 3.0) that disabled CD/DVD-ROM drive. I followed your instructions and got my CD-ROM drive (on one PC) and my DVD-ROM drive (on another PC) back to work again.
I used to work for Ingram Labs (now defunct), a testing lab division of Ingram Micro, and we tested hardware and software, mostly for compatibility issues. I remembered the lab tested extensively on Hewlett-Packard systems and I was positively impressed with how HP's commitment to its product quality.
Shame on Symantec! They should have thoroughly tested its Norton 360 3.0 before releasing to the public. It should be quite obvious that Norton 360 had serious problems (disabling CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive under Windows XP, for one). Didn't they even bother to test it on one PC running under Windows XP!
Thank you again for your tips. Have a wonderful holiday of the season!

Gear Software which is the leading provider for optical solution in industry, is incompatible with few other softwares found on system. if your target XP pc has any other incompatible drivers, then that would cause Gear to malfunction.
I would suggest to check for any recent installed programs and uninstall them. Or alternatively you an also try to uninstall and install the N360. Get latest drivers from Gear and try install them.

I was just about to give up trying to get our dvd/drive to work after trying for ages, but then came across your advice. Brilliant, thank you so much!
