CD-Rom device driver registry key

[TiziteLayinLow]

Ive had this problem before.. the cdrom device in device manager is disabled and will not allow me to enable it.. i took out cd burning software and I have a feeling this caused it, the OS is win xp pro, and i know someone on this site posted me the key and i took it out and it worked fine, does anyone know this problem/where the key is?

thanks,
matt

If you start in safe mode you may see multiple copies of the device you can remove.

Or you can use this:

The old UpperFilters and LowerFilters registry keys might be your problem. Delete them.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-0 87002BE10318}

Delete the following two keys

UpperFilters

LowerFilters
