CD-ROM doesn't work under Win2000 suddenly.

My CD-ROM worked fine before under Win2000. But I don't know why it doesn't work anymore now.

I have Win98 and Win2000,under Win 98, the CD-ROM works fine, but under Win2000, I can't find the CD-ROM. When I check the "device manager", it shows that "Your registry might be corrupted (code 19)"

I changed several CD-ROMs to test it, get the same error. Since
the CD-ROM works fine under Win98, it must not be the problem of
CD-ROM itself.

Then what should I do with the "corrupted registry"?
Thanks!

Hi!

I know you said CD-ROM, but I just spent the last two days recovering from a similar situation with my CD-RW drive. Is your CD-ROM drive a burner by any chance? If so, do you run Adaptec DirectCD and Windows Media Player 7?

If so, I'm willing to bet that's the problem. There is a conflict with Windows 2000, DirectCD and the Adaptec CD recording plug-in that Microsoft loads with Media Player 7. As for why it worked before and now it doesn't - Media Player 7 updates itself monthly. It probably installed the CD recording plug-in that was apparently added AFTER you first installed Media Player.

For more information on how to fix the problem, read this article. I'll warn you though, this fix did NOT work for me and I ended up reformatting and playing around with my burner drivers and Media Player 7 just to get the two to coexist peacefully. I can't burn MP3's to CD from Media Player 7, but my burner works perfectly with the software that came with it.

Incidentally, there seems to be a similar problem with Real Jukebox. I went out to their website yesterday and read that they pulled the Adaptec CD burning plug-in and are working with Adaptec to resolve the problem.

Hope this helps...
 
Sorry I posted this help on "Operating System" forum too,
just hope as many experienced experts as possible can see it.

Until now the CD-ROM doesn't work..

1. It is not a SCSI driver.
2. I had a SONY CDRW before together with my Acer 40X CDROM. But I did not
install DirectCD.Only install "SONY CD Extreme". But now I have removed
the CDRW and there is only a CDROM there.(I also deleted the "SONY CD
Extreme"--the software that I used to burn CD)
3. I do have Window Media Player 7.0
4. I ran REGCLEAN, but the problem is the same.
5. I downloaded the aspi32.exe, but I can't install it, it tells me that
"No qualified Adaptec products have been detected on this system". What
does it mean? I think I do not have Adaptec product in my machine...But
according to Garion2k, the Adaptec DirectCD is plug-in Media Player 7.0

(PS: the CDROM works under Win98, also I can play Music under Win2k.)
Thank all your help... But I still could not figure how to do..
