Installing Nero 7 and i lost my disc drives!

teeg58 · Jan 22, 2007

I just installed Nero 7 ultra light edition, and once finished, i was asked to reboot my computer, when it rebooted, and message came up saying something like " the upper and lower limits of the disc drives we reset and the computer needs to reboot in order for them to work"
I rebooted, and i still haven't got my disc drives back!
Can anyone help me?
I'm using Windows XP
Cheers

Try this...

You could try the Upper and Lower filters trick:

It is a Windows thing, losing drives when installing/un-installing burning software…

If the drives are still listed in the Device Manager, delete them then carefully follow this fix:

"Upper/Lower Filters:

a. Click on Start --> Run --> and type in 'regedit' followed by the enter key
b. Expand the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" key (looks like a folder) by double clicking it (or clicking the "+" next to it.)
c. Expand the "SYSTEM" Key
d. Expand the "CurrentControlSet" Key
e. Expand the "Control" Key
f. Expand the "Class" Key
g. Look for a key containing the following string of letter and numbers:
{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
h. Highlight this key by left clicking once on it
i. On the right hand side you are looking for "UpperFilters" and "LowerFilters" under the "Name" column, once you find these delete them by right clicking on them and choosing "delete"
j. Exit the registry by clicking on the "X" in the top right hand corner of the screen

Reboot your computer"
