DVD-ROM/CD-R/RW err Code 41

[3]

Both of my cdrom drives have that same error:

Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this
hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)

they were working properly ( i burned a cd the day before)
next day, when i turned on my computer i had that error
on both drives. I hadn't made any kind of hardware or
system changes. Afterwards I uninstalled both of them,
then disconnected them and rebooted. Everything was ok i
just had no cdrom drives. I reconnected and turned back
on and still same error. cable swapped and no change.
HELP ME!!!

See if this helps

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
