crash Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 "There is a problem reading the CD-ROM drive" "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)" "Windows Vista DVD CD Optical drive problems" Hey I guys I ran into a problem where my optical drives disappeared from my computer. Actualy they showed up in device manager but I got the above message in the properties tab along with a yello exclamation mark neside the drive name. The problem was another virtual driver that NTI installed. Turns out there are quite a few programs that will do this in Vista. The fix involved a quick and easy reg edit as follows: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}] Deleted both "upperfilters" and "lowerfilters" keys, restarted and problem solved. Hopefully this topic shows up on someone elses google and saves them some time. Crash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
