Having used Microsoft update recently my CD rom is no longer working. I have
read some of the other threads and it appears that I may need to modify my
registry. Having found the appropriate key in the Registry I am confused as
to what are the Upper and Lower Filter values. When I expand the key I have
0000,0001 and properties. Where do I find the Upper & Lower Filter values
which I need to delete.

Thanks for your response.
I have already tried using the file that you suggest and my cd drive is
still not working.
I would appreciate any other suggestions you may have.
My CD drive was working perfectly well until I did the windows update. I did
however at the time have to put a patch on my Panda Antivirus to enable me to
carry out the update

Open your Device Manager and uninstall the CD drive,
then reboot and Windows should automatically reinstall it.

Thanks again.
I have already tried that without success.
I have also reinstalled my Panda Antivirus
