Help with my CD Driver

Yesterday I was surprised when I saw the CD driver was not in "My PC" folder. I insert a CD, an even though the driver did read it, the laptop didn't seem to "realize" there was a Driver at all. I search for some explanation, and in the Devices Administrator the icon of the CD Driver was there, but it had an exclamation mark. When I opened the properties, there was a sign telling me that Windows loaded the driver correctly, but it can't find the hardware (Code 41). I don't know what to do to fix my driver. I already check it is well-plugged but is still not working. What happened? How can I fix it?
 
Have you removed anything recently, uninstalled some application or
something?

If you uninstall Easy CD Creator then the following article may help:

RESOLUTION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry
Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To resolve this behavior, follow these steps:
1.. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2.. Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11C
E-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-E325-11C
E-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.
If you haven't uninstalled anything then test the CD-Rom drive in another
machine and test a different CD-Rom drive in that one.

If it works in another machine then you know the drive itself is good, so it
could be the cable so test the cable in a different machine.

If it doesn't work in another machine or on a different cable (preferably a
known good one) then it would be something with the drive, however, if it
does work then you work through the rest of the machine, backtracking the
process so to speak.
