Hello,

I have a PC with Windows XP Prof. + SP2 installed.

If I open "My Computer", the window is openend, no disks are displayed and
the proces "explorer.exe" hangs.

Can anyone give me the reason for this ?

Thank you very much in advance.

Restore Missing CD Drive

[[The popular CDGONE patch. CD drives may vanish in Windows Explorer, Device
Manager, etc. if a third-party CD-burning package has been uninstalled and
Registry references for some code modules aren’t removed successfully. This
patch and a reboot usually will restore the missing drives. Any third
party package still required will then have to be re-installed. ]]
