I have this problem also after uninstalling game software. In Device
manager, it show DVD/CD-ROM and under that Multimedia Audio controller with
an exclamation point by both. But when I update the driver, it installs
drivers for SoundMax digital audio and places Multimedia Audio Controller in
Sound devices. DVD/CD-ROM disappears from Device Manager and still not able
to use CD/Rom/Dvd.
Steps I have already taken:
1.) No upper/lower filters in the Registry that is so heavily floating as a
solution.
2.) Cdgone did not work
3.) Microsoft's Fix it said it could not detect
4.) I checked my drivers in system 32 and two that are shown in driver
details of IDE ATA ATAPI and Primary IDE channel (have no Second primary
channel showing) are not in C:/Windows/System32/Drivers/
storprop.dll(primary) and pciidex.sys.
I was told that senfilt.sys should not be in system 32. At one point it was
not there but in the registry.
I have not installed the driver for Multimedia Digital Audio driver. I did
the add hardware wizard and it said 'Windows cannot load the drivers for this
device(DVD/CD-ROM) Code 31.
In my registry by CDROM in two places are two terms I don't understand.
INITIALFAIL(by reg.key for deleting filters) and AutoRunDisable(by cdrom.sys)
How can I get the drivers for DVD/CD-ROM to load and not in concert with
Multimedia Audio Controller that installs SoundMax drivers for sound ONLY.

Don, from what you said if you open MyComputer you see the C, D but not
the E drive Icon. I would try right clicking
MyComputerselect PropertiesHardwareDevice ManagerDvd/Cdrom Drives.
Click on the plus sign and you should
see two entries for your cdrw drives. If there rt click on each one and
choose Uninstall. Restart your Computer and let
WinXP reinstall the drives.

missing hardware devices but the drivers for those locations appeared ok.
