Sue sony for BILLIONS of dollars. Make it a separate lawsuit, not a class
action. Oh, and in the future, don't buy any product from Sony or any
affiliate of Sony. -Dave
 
I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers, as well as the device
themselves, but it didn't seem to help

About a half dozen paragraphs up from the comments, it details how he
re-activated his disabled CD drive.

This worked great and now I can play my CDs, so thanks, but it stil
can't find the CD Burner. Which I really need. Any ideas
 
Horrors upon horrors! I found this site
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14817570 ) which tells you ho
to remove the rootkit safely. I however have deleted several of th
offending bits which they insist are designed in such a way that yo
should never delete them. So I deleted things with regedit that see
have broken my cd/dvd burner.

Now what? Can I somehow put those back in? Or somehow replace them? O
is my computer now permanently broken
