Lost drivers for CD and DVD drives

[Guest]

All of a sudden XP tells me my drivers for my CD and DVD drive are wrong or corrupt. The bios recognizes the drives but the device manager has yellow marks aside of the drives. Up until now, I've had no problems with the drives. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drives several times with no change. If I try "rollback" drivers, it telles me there are no old drivers to rollback to. I'll welcome any suggestions.

Goto http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.php#problems
See the second "problem" (read the caveats)
Run the provided registry patch

That should fix your problem (basically, a filter driver is missing or
non-operational, the registry patch will delete the filter drivers
references for your cdrom(s))


Basically, the reg file from above carries out the steps displayed at this

Thanks for the quick advice. I edited the registry manually as per the suggestion and it corrected the problem.

I am having the same problem. I get a message in device manager, Your registry might be corrupt. (Code 19). I am running Windows 2000 professional. Will this patch work with 2000?
