DRIVER ERROR-39 CDwriter not working

[Guest]

Was trying to copy files from a cd(install printer) and my cd writer stopped
working. Had just installed a NEW one 2 months ago while using "ME". Gone
back to XP os & now the cd writer stops. Reinstalled ORIGINAL cd writer that
came with compaq pc. BOTH cd writers get same msg. when I go to device mgr.
to update drivers. ERROR 39, driver corrupt. I have used uninstall to remove
BOTH of them, reinstall by using ADD hdwe. wizard. D drive still not working.
D drive doesnt even appear in "my computer". Device mgr. shows either one,
but has the yellow warning icon beside it.
I CANNOT use cd rom to reinstall files from disc.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Goto http://aumha.org/win5/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
