Yet another CDROM problem

[Guest]

Here is yet another post about CD DVD drives not working.
I have a CDR/RW and a DVD
My drives have been working fine. Suddenly they don't. The cables are all connected properly and the drives work just fine on another computer. I've tried all the obvious, removing them and letting windows find them (did the same for the controllers) uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. I've done complete virus/adware/malware checks.

The Device Manager sees them. No problems detected. They will not read any disks, software, data, music or DVD. My CDR/RW will, however, burn CDs. The only changes made to my computer have been updates to my virus software and Windows updates. I can't read CDs from boot either.

I've seen a ton of posts on this topic and tried anything mentioned in them I had not already tried. Anyone have any new ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

Do you have any CD Recording Software installed on your system ? If yes
please visit:

CD-R Drive or CD-RW Drive Is Not Recognized As a Recordable Device
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];316529

"Incorrect function" error message when you access the CD-ROM drive, the
DVD-ROM drive, or the CD-RW drive
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q315350

If the above KB Article doesn't help. Please open notepad, copy and paste
the following text. (in between the "Start of File" and "End of File")

------------- Start of File ------------------------------

Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next

Dim WshShell, Message

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.RegDelete
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11
CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\UpperFilters"
WshShell.RegDelete
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11

WshShell.RegDelete
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdudf\"
WshShell.RegDelete
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UdfReadr\"
Set WshShell = Nothing

Message = "Your CD/DVD-Rom drives should now appear in Windows Explorer." &
vbCR
Message = Message & "You may need to reboot your computer to see the
change."

MsgBox Message, 4096,"Finished!"

-------------- End of File -----------------------------------

Please save the file as "Fixcd.vbs" on your desktop. Double click the saved
file. A dialog box asks you to restart the system for the change to take
effect.

Hope this helps ......
