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.
