BLAKE

My CD Rom isnt showin up under My computer and whenever i
put a CD in, it doesnt work or read the CD whatsoever.
It worked last week but now its gone haywire! When I
checked the status of the CD Rom my computer said it was
there but there was an error code 41. I really need help
i would kill myself if i had to reinstall my opertaing
system. HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!
 
R.click my computer,properties,device mgr,R.click the
drive,properties.See what info it gives,you might select
uninstall @ R.click,then back-out,shutdown computer.
XP will reinstall on start-up,select uninstall after you
have info.look at drivers section also,write down info,
compare the info after the reinstall.Help/Support utility
in xp is great for troublshooting,type the error or nos
in search,then check the box,search in releavance.

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
