Problems with "My Computer" and cd-rom/usb drives

So, I've been having a problem lately since running windows update that whenever I plug-in a thumb drive, or my USB2 cd-rom drive, they never show up in "my computer", or any of the "open" dialogs for access. Or, whenever I put a cd in one of my IDE dvd-rom drives, and take it out, the drive still reads that the cd is inserted. Even if I put a secondary cd in the drive, it still reads the label of the first

Now, I know that the drives are working because I can still manually access them by typing in the drive letters. Does anyone know what's happening? I'm on the verge of formatting and starting over, but I would really prefer not to do that

Thanks
Joe
 
Hi Joe,

Try to eliminate the upper and lower filters of the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11C
E-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Good luck
