Please Help with CD Roms

[mtngolfer]

If anyone could lend a hand with this problem I would be very greatfull.
For some reason all of a sudden windows will not see or access my cd roms. Bios sees them, I have put different drives in and to no avail. I can boot from cd and thats it. Nor can I do a system restore with out (windows error) .
Device manager sees them and at one time reported them to be ok. But they wern't. When I could access the drives it would gave me a message like files are not windows files or something like that.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks,
Mtngolfer

Once you have opened the last folder, you should see two keys on the right hand side ("Upperfilters" and "Lowerfilters") which you may select and then delete by right clicking and selecting "Delete".

Im not good at this stuff

Where do I find this and what will it do?
Thanks puke:

 

[triplate]

In the Registry...Fix your puter. Whats with the puke ??...kinda stupid isnt it??

 

[mtngolfer]

Sorry about that

 

[triplate]

No worries....open your registry and navigate to that String Line (i,m assuming you,ve some experiance in the Win Registry?)...delete the Upper and Lower Filters values...the Upper may not exist,..if it dosent, just delete the lower one and reboot...you wont hurt a thing either way. If you,re unsure of the Registry, please get some hands on help...i dont want you to pooch your system...

Didn't seem to work, there was an upper and lower deleted both.

By the way my putter is a lot better off than my computer. :approve:

Thanks to you and everyone else that trys to help us, that don't work with this stuff very much.

Ok..uninstall the device from Device Manager..reboot...Win should find a generic driver for it..if it doesnt..use Goojle and find one..unless you have the mobo driver cd ... {closest thing i get to Golf (use to be) is the 19th hole...lol*}
