Craig and Daniel,

"CD-ROM Access Is Missing and Messages Cite Error Code 31, Code 32, Code 19,
or Code 39 After You Remove Easy CD Creator in Windows XP"

download and double click the file xp_cd_dvd_fix.vbs from the following web
site:

Ignore script warnings from your antivirus.

[this also fixes code 41 errors too as mentioned in the kb article listed
above]

Best of luck,

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
