My system does not recognize my dvd+rw,dvd, or cdrw
drives ( 3 of them). They were working fine Friday and
now I have the yellow exclamation point on all three.
The do not show up in the My computer section. The only
thing that is different is a installed a Pinnacle PCTV
pro pci card friday. The are still attached to the built
in controller with power connections. Things just keep
getting better and better. Hope someone can help. Thank
you

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
