DVD/CD-Rom drives not recognized by xp

[John Arnaldo]

Maybe some one can help, My DVD/CD Rom Drives quit working. They show up
under Device manager With the yellow exclamation point. Under Device status
it says
"Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot
find the hardware device. (Code 41)"
I checked and rechecked the connections. Ive rebooted but nothing works.
Can someone help?
Thanks (e-mail address removed)

Do a search on Goggle for removing upper and lower filters in your registry
regarding not being able to access your cd drives.

You can no longer access the CD drive or the DVD drive, or you receive an
error message after you remove a CD recording program or a DVD recording
program in Windows XP: "error code 31"
