I have lost all references to my fixed CD & DVD drives (D
& E drives), I cant reinstall the drivers as the yellow
exclamation mark keeps showing, I have uninstalled but
still when they reinstall the problem is still there! the
troubleshooter is all but usless and the propertys say it
is a problem with the registry, can anyone out there help
as I'm now getting frustrated!!! thanks, Clive
