dvd-cdrom and code 39

[JB]

all of a sudden my DVD-cd rom stopped working and in the device manager
there is a yellow exclamation mark. I have researched this online and have
tried everything from deleting/reinstalling to trying regedit and the upper
and lower filters thing which were nowhere to be found to installing another
drive but the same message came up. I'm lost. I went to Dell forums,
Microsoft help and forums but all to no avail.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how to correct this mess and get my DVD-cd
drive back.

DellE510, Pentium/2.8Ghz,windows vista home basic,3 MB ram, larger enough
hard drives

Philips DVD+RW DVD8801 ATA Device !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance for any direction!!!!

Yes but the OP has Code 39 error. You just jumped in here. Start your own post and
not hijack someone else's. We have no idea what your issue is exactly

What are you talking about..I mentioned my issue in the first statement. I
previously researched it on my own and tried all the internet infomation that
I could find and hoped for some more insights here in a forim
setting..highjack someone else's WHAT!?
Sorry to have bothered you. I guess I made the wrong decision coming here
expecting help and understanding.

You jump into a discussion of SOMEONE ELSE'S PROBLEM with YOUR
problem, and you don't know what hijacking a thread is?

You're a moron.

Change your moniker to JoeFool.

I have never met any people like you two in any forum .
What's the point of being rude and personally INSULTING?

I STARTED THIS THREAD ON 2/1/09(FOR WHATEVER YOU MEAN BY "hijacking") FOR
HELP NOT ABUSE !!!!!!
BUG-OFF.
Sincerely !

Are you JB?
If so, why did you change your name? It appears to everyone reading that JB
and Joe Cool are 2 different people..

 

[JoeCool]

Yes I am but I do not know how or why that happened!
What can I do to correct this matter.
Sooooo sorry for the mix-up!

 

[Dave]

So, the first post was thru Windows Mail, which used your email address, and
the subsequent posts were via the
Communities website, which used your login name.
There's no way to correct it, but now that folks know you are the OP,
perhaps someone can assist.

I don't have any suggestions, as I only had this problem one time, and
deleting the upper/lower filters fixed it for me...

I was right: change your moniker to JoeFool.

No you are not. IP for JB and for you(J Cool) are a few thousand miles apart.One is
on a University Server and one (YOU) on a Web Interface) Now you are Troll on top of
a hijacker

 

[Peter Foldes]

That same OP posted with an open IP a few months ago. That is where it came from

Not here on the Vista newsgroups. It was Office

So did anyone find out how to fix the Code39?

I use Google's Advanced Search - it catches all.
