win 2k problem

[matyee]

Hi guys,

I just tried to install some software for my CD-R, but after I installed it, my CD-ROMS were no longer recognized in win 2k. I checked the properties of the drives in device manager and it says that my registry might possibly be corrupt. Any one got any ideas? The software I was trying to install was CD extreme. Any ideas on what to do with the registry?

I tried uninstalling it and that had no affect. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drives through device manager and I've had no luck. Got any other suggestions?

hummm.... I drove my self crazy unnstalling and reinstalling the drives in device manager..... I did it like 10 times and just lived withit ( @ the time I was use'n dual boot so I didn't really need CD's in 2k )...


just a Q.. did you restart after uninstalling the soft???...

if not try that....

Yeah I've restarted everytime I've tried to uninstall and reinstall, win 2k says that you have to restart each time. So I've restarted probably 10-15 times already. Anyone know where the info for the CD ROMS is stored in the registry? Any other ideas?

Thanks
