And the device is for Windows Vista

808002 2009-09-08 05:39:00 You don't need to install drivers for optical drives. What's the error in the device manager? Code 10, the device cannot start? Post a screenshot of the error if you can. wratterus (105)

808004 2009-09-08 05:49:00 Right, easy fox for this, it's quite common.

Open regedit (type regedit in the search box on the start menu)

Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class and select the key starting with {4D36E965-E325...

Find LowerFilters and/or UpperFilters and delete the keys (right click, delete). If either of the keys isn't there dont' worry. Close regedit, reboot, after a reboot your optical drive should be working again.
