Run the fix, it can clean out the upper and lower filters for the drive in
the registry..
You may need to do it manually if for some reason the fix fails, review the
above links, if you haven't already..
Hope this can help..

I want to thank you so very much I was just about ready to pull my hair out
until I read your fix.
