The Case of the disappearing DvD Writer

After installing Vista RTM after about a day of running a reboot was required
after the reboot both my dvd writers disappeared and weren't recognized by My
computer They both showed in device manager but with a yellow ! when I
clicked on the writers I got this detail
I will show only one set of details for 1 of my writers although both are
basically same explanation but for different writer models
Description:
Windows was able to successfully install device driver software, but the
driver software encountered a problem when it tried to run. The problem code
is 39.

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: PnPDeviceProblemCode

Hardware Id: IDE\CdRomPIONEER_DVD-RW__DVR-106D________________1.08____
Setup class GUID: {4d36e965-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
PnP problem code: 00000027
Driver name: cdrom.sys

OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033

As I have seen others with similar problems heres hoping someone can come up
with solution

 

My opinion on this after having many hardware devices lose or have limited
funtionality is.....wait for a new driver is about all you can do
unfortunately...whether the driver is from Microsoft or from the vendor of
the drive. I have a feeling we'll start seeing more updated drivers
mid-late december with many of the stable ones in Jan/Feb 2007. It's taking
the vendors time to write drivers for an OS they didn't have much access to
themselves...at least not all the access they needed. Fustrating...I know.

registry problem here is where i found the solution

After a few hours of searching, the link above did the trick. Appreciat
it Spectra!!

For a while I thought it was an ID 10 T error on my part 8)

 

Hi

I went to the link mentioned and did regedit and rebooted. I found the
lost cd driver but I have lost the sound of my laptop which is a Lenova
and running on window vista home basic.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks in advance!

 

Go to the Lenova web site to get your drivers, and nowhere else.
