In My Computer, there is no access to your CD-ROMs.
In Device Manager, the following error message appears in connection with any
CD-ROM device that is part of your computer system:
The device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers
required for this device (Code 31).
Device Manager displays the following error message:
A driver for this device was not required, and has been disabled (Code 32 or
Code 31).
You may also receive an error Code 39 message that indicates that the driver is
corrupted.
Device Manager displays the following error Code 19 message, which means that
the registry returned some unknown result:
Your registry might be corrupted. (Code 19)
You may also receive the following error message:
Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find
the hardware device. (Code 41)
 
Hi Kaylene, where you been?
Both my compaq dvd sd-612 and LG cdrw 8080b are listed with a yellow error
besides them in device manager. uninstalling and scanning for hardware
changes locates them but doesn't install them, reboot does the same
 
Tried the first two methods, dougs doesnt work and the registry fix doesn't
work either
 
Hi Headtheball, I'm still around, probably posting elsewhere. Have you tried to
find new drivers from the manufacturers - I'm out of ideas and suggestions
otherwise.
Perhaps someone in the Windows XP Hardware NG can shed some light on the
situation
