Hello,
When I put a CD-R or any disc for that matter. it didnt read it. when I went to Start>Computer and double click DVD RW Drive it showed, "please insert disc" as if there was not one in there already. It didnt matter if it is was a blank disc or one with something on it. I recently took a tip from someone and got it to read CD's however I tried putting in a game and it still didnt read it. I really need to get these to work. so I would truly appreciate the help. thank you so much.
hi I recently had this problems so if you follow this you will get it back in restart
To begin the process, start the Registry Editor.
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
On Vista machines, Run is accessible through Accessories.
Click the plus sign (+) next to the following folders in the left side of the window pane:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Control
Class
{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Look for any of the following names in the right side of the window pane:
UpperFilters
LowerFilters
If any of the items above are listed, right-click on the item and select Delete.
Be sure to restart your computer after you have deleted the files in the registry.
Open My Computer (XP) or Computer (Vista) and check to see if your CD or DVD drives have returned.
In some cases, you may need to reinstall some programs such as CD or DVD burning software, iTunes, or Nero
Hi I tried this and restarted my computer. Now my keyboard and mouse aren't working and I can't even login to fix it. Maybe I was in the wrong folder? I should have been more careful...any way to fix this? @dave1969
