Insprion e1505 CDROM disappeared

The CD/DVD Rom in my e1505 keeps disappearing. When it is gone, I have to edit the registry and remove the low/high filter enteries, reboot and then it comes back. Since this is a Vista Home Prem. machone, i do not have Media player 7 as the sticky note in this forum say to remove it.

 

Any other ideas? I am getting tired of this.

    It still shows in device manager, but has the yellow ! point and says error 39.

    When the drive disappears, does it disappear from My Computer?
    Does it also disappear from the Device Manager?

    Removing the Highfilters and Lowfilters is the correct procedure
    to recover the drive, but it is not a solution as you know. 


    I do not have too much to offer, other than the usual cause of a
    CD drive driver corruption (Code 39, 19, 41, 31, etc) is software. 
    Most often it is caused by the removal of software that uses the
    drive as part of its function, such as burning software, but not
    limited to just that software.  It could even be the Anti-Virus
    software.


    Look over what software you have on your system for any possibility
    of a software the uses the cd drive as part of its function.  Consider
    unintalling (temporary) select ones to see if the problem goes away.
