on my comp is dell xp and the dvd drivers were working a week ago and in the device manager their is an "!" on my DVD/CD ROM drives! i cant update these drivers any help on what i should do?
Use 'Device Manager', go to the IDE controller where the drives are installed (usually the secondary) and uninstall the controller, then reboot.
did you add or remove anything hardware wise. Are you using a Virtual Drive As these can cause confliks. Other dvd software in conjunction with one another also can cause conflicks heres some i have run across. Dvd Decrypter Dvd Shrink Some Nero Suits 7.1 and higher Alcohol 120% in some rare cases mainly on OEM Computer The Intel Application Accelerator has Caused Ide Arrays To Temp.Die
my drives keep saying error code 39 i have uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing. any help would please.
The cure is uninstalling all software that can burn a disk (Nero, IMGBurn, AnyDVD etc), cleaning the registry, then re-installing the burning programs. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060 Another link (it's on an HP site, but it's the same problem) with some illustrations - step 3 applies. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&dlc=&product=3379086&docname=c00817052
