To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
[Start > Run and type: REGEDIT , and hit enter]

2. Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

3. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.

4. Locate the LowerFilters value under the same key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

5. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.

6. Quit Registry Editor.NOTE: After you remove the Upperfilters value and the Lowerfilters value,
if you notice lost functionality in a particular program, such as CD recording software, you may need
to reinstall that software. If the problem recurs, consult with the software vendor for assistance.

7. Restart your computer.

Hi Carey,
Thanks for answering my problem on the discussion group.
I did what you said but when I restart my computer that # keeps returning
to the registry. My cd rom still is not working and does not show up as a
drive. Now what can I do. I do a newsletter and all my info is on a cd.

Again, thanks,
Diane

Click to expand...

Replace the drive. A cd-rom is less than $20usd. If you want to be sure
the drive is not working, you can troubleshoot by:

1. Swap out ribbon cable for known-working one. If that doesn't help,
2. Swap out drive for known-working one. If that works, problem solved.
If that doesn't work, you can possibly put the drive on a different IDE
connector. It is not uncommon for the secondary IDE connector to fail
if your computer is elderly.
