Hi,

Try run regedit.
Care: Use export to backup the registry before doing any
change for just in case.

Highlight the CDRom Drive Key(s), delete the
Values "UpperFilters" and/or "LowerFilters"

Open Device Manager (Winkey-Break, or start/run,
type 'sysdm.cpl / Hardware Tab)

Remove the entry for the cd device(s), then restart.

If you are uncomfortable with registry editing, the following will
accomplish the same...

Goto http://www.aumha.org/a/xpcd.php#problems
See the second "problem" (read the caveats)
Run the provided registry patch

That should fix your problem (basically, a filter driver is missing or
non-operational, the registry patch will delete the filter drivers
references for your cdrom(s))


Basically, the reg file from above carries out the steps displayed at this
website
