Hello All,

I have a new system running 32bit Vista w/ an above mentioned device. I was
able to successfully read contents from CD's and DVD's. However, since this
past week Vista is not accessing the device. It shows up on my hardare
device manager as working properly. The BIOS also picks it up.

My attempted fix was to uninstall the device from the hardware device
manager and delete the registry entries in regedit. (I attempted to remove
the upperfilter and lowerfilter entries, but they do not exist in Vista.)

Any solution/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

This seems to a common problem, but I haven't seen a definitive solution
posted yet. Some suggestions implicate third-party software which needs
access to burner devices, even including iTunes, e.g.

I'm curious what happened after you deleted the device. Did Vista find
the drivers without your help?
 
Vista did automatically search for the drivers automatically after I
restarted the system. It reinstalled the default "cdrom.sys" driver.
