Where did my CDROM drive go?

[jerry nickels news]

When I open Windows XP the install program pops up and states that "
Applications or devices on this computor uses drivers that cause windows to
become unstable, Windows has prevented these drivers from loading"
The drivers are for the CDROM and CDRW.
All three drivers are from Roxio which I do not use anymore and the drives
work fine even though windows has "prevented from loading" but when I delete
them and reboot I have no CDROM or CDRW.
They are in Device manager but not working.
How do I delete these drivers?

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
