CD drive problems in Windows 7 [modified]

***Orginal message*** Hi guys. I'm kinda new to this site so I'm not sure if this topic belongs here. Anyways, I've got a problem. I installed a clean version of W7 Ultimate (build 7600) some months ago and had no problems. Everything worked well until recently the computer hasn't been capable of loading the device drivers for my cd drive and tells me that the driver might be corrupted or missing (Code 39). I've tried uninstalling the driver for the drive and installing again but didn't work. I also noticed that Daemon tools didn't work so I uninstalled that and got the newest version but nothing got better. Are there any known issues of this sort in W7? I'm running Abit P35 Off limit motherboard, W7 Ultimate x64, TSSTcorp SH-203D ATA cd drive. ***Solution*** The problem was in the registry. I deleted every file called something Filter. Step 1: Run > Regedit Step 2: * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE * SYSTEM * CurrentControlSet * Control * Class * {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} Step 3: Delete all of the following files. * UpperFilters * LowerFilters * UpperFilters.bak * LowerFilters.bak Restart your computer. I found the solution here http://www.pchell.com/hardware/cd_drive_error_code_39.shtml[^] Thanks everybody for your help :) Regards, Viktor Blöndal

Did you run the Windows 7 compatibility tester first to check if all your hardware has been certified for use with Windows 7? Second question, but a bit obvious, did you check the vendors web site for Windows 7 compatibility of your CD drive?

Have you tried rollback drivers? I found that my network card stopped working after Windows7 did a driver upgrade, turned out the new drivers didn't work properly in Windows 7. If you've re-installed the drivers and don't have the rollback option try searching the vendor's website for an old version of the drivers, then tell windows update to ignore the driver update for it the next time it shows up.
