Code 41 - CD ROM no longer working

[Guest]

I have gotten a code 41 for my Sony DVD RW DW G120A CDROM. This just
happened two days ago when everything was working fine with it.

I have tried going into the register and deleting the values, then
uninstalling the device and then using the feature to look for new hardware.
I still get the following:

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

Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

Now I did load in the new updates a few days ago for Windows.

Please someone help!

Thanks - Valerie

This may help :-

Combination CDRW/DVD Player (HL-DT-RW/DVD GCC 4481B) Does not show up
in "MyComputer" and shows "Windows Successfully loaded the device
drivers but can't find the device" In Control Panel\System\ Hardware\
Device Manager\ CD-DVD Drives.
Go to Start>Run type: regedit click Ok Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
click on and look in righthand panel for Upper and Lower Filters.
Delete both or
either one if there. Restart.

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
