Carlos has offered the following before, and It seems worth a try for your
situation. I personally deleted the filter part of the entry 6 months
before this was posted and it solved my problem. As always use care and
backup the registry before making changes. At least the entries you are
going to change. You may want to look in your system logs. If I remember,
the exact key that is causing your problem will be listed in an entry there.
Good Luck.
*********************************************************
Quick fix (use with care!)
There are 2 reg keys that can screw the device......remove them both and
reboot......
The keys are:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325
-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} - "Upperfilters" and "Lowerfilters".
Darrell Gorter said later on:
"Let's be a little careful here and understand what is happening before we
post to delete those entries.
We can break some installed applications and some functionality if we just
delete the entire value.
The upper and lower filters entries are available for viewing in device
manager.
open the properties of the device.
In this case the CD-ROM or DVD drive.
choose the details tab.
scroll down the list.
There will be 4 entries that come into play.
Device Upper Filters
Device Lower Filters
Class Upper Filters
Class Lower Filters
What is recorded in the registry is listed under each item.
Applications have installed these filter drivers which are attached to
these devices.
For example Cd-Burning or DVD-Burning software will install filter drivers
most of the time.
There can be any number of filter drivers installed per device.
If we just delete the regisry entries we will potentially break some
applications or functionality.
I would recommend backing up or recording the entries first from each line
so that we can replace them if we find other items are broken.
More than likely we only want to remove one of the filter drivers that is
causing the issue, not everything under the key.
Plus if we can identify which items specifically to delete we can leave
everything else in place and still working.
If we just delete the entire key we may not easily be able to recover with
out installing software. We could cause more issues than the one we are
trying to resolve.
For example you delete imapi filter entry in this case which is the
cd-burning in Windows XP.
You also delete the redbook filter entry which affects reading some cds.
So it would be good to put some caution around this so that if we need to
we can recover if needed."
