My Cd rom wont recognize discs of any sort as of yesterday. The last thing i did was uninstall some bundled programs that came with the Zen. The Drive doesnt show up in My Computer... but in device manager it appears with a yellow exclamation;
Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)
So, is it borked and just a coincidence i was removing programs? I tried uninstalling with no success.
Also the USB wont register my Zen to recharge it, but it will work with my digital camera. So.. uh... suggestions?
"I had the exact problem and resolved it by doing the following: Click START, RUN, type Regedit into the open field and then click ok Click MY COMPUTER at the top of the list, click FILE, then EXPORT Browse to a folder that is esy to access such as My Documents Type a filenme that is easy to remember, such as RegBackup Click SAVE to backup the registry. Click the small plus sign (+) next to each of the following folders HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM Select Double click the default key and note the value Data number. This value data is used in the next step. Click the small plus sign (+) next to each of the following folders HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CONTROLSET001 (IF the default value data was 1) or Controlset002 (If the default value data was 2) Control Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} Right click LOWERFILTERS from the right side of the window and click Delete Right click UPPERFILTERS from the right side of the window and click DELETE Exit registry editor and restart the computer. If full CD writing function has not been restored, it may be necessary to reinstall the CD writing software. Good Luck"
