Need Help with imapi.sys for XP sp2
I just got a D820 and am having an issue with the CDRW/DVD. I spent a half hour on the chat site last night with Dell to no avail, but I now am convinced this is a Windows problem, not a Dell issue. The system is not recognizing the drive as a CDRW - it shows up as a CD-ROM. That means I can't burn a CD with it. Microsoft Article ID: 883523 describes the issue I have to a tee. I checked the version of imapi.sys on my machine and it is an older version than they indicate in the article as being available via a hotfix. I need to get a copy of imapi.sys, Ver. 5.1.2600.2505. Can anyone help me out with that? I know Microsoft supposedly makes these available at no charge, but everything I see there wants a credit card to charge me, then they'll decide if I really owe them something or not - not my favorite way to do business.
Also, I tried updating the drivers from the Dell site, but they only have drivers posted for the TS-L462C and the drive I have is a TS-L462D. It just gives me an error message saying the drive is not the correct model for the updated driver.
Any help I could get in finding the updated imapi.sys file would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
