Hi Folks!
Iam new to the forum.I have a strange problem where my DVD writer is listed in my device manager & my computer but doesn't read any type of DVD/CD.Microsoft advices to delete upperfilters & lowerfilters in HKLM registry but I couldn't find the keys.Is this a hardware problem or software problem?I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver but of no use.I tried Microsoft fixit but couldn't as the drive could not read any dvd/cd.Any help will be appreceated.I use vista home premium.
Thanks
Flumbunny.

OK what OS? It used to work right? Have you tried both cd's and DVD's?

Windows Vista Home Premium.Tried both DVD/CD to read and write but the drive says no media detected.It used to work fine but not working now.

I will be honest, a dvd R/W is about $20us. It might be worth going to a PC store and picking one up. They are very simple to replace.
