UNSOLVED
Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)
This morning my computer booted up and when I went to MY COMPUTER, my CD/DVD 'D' and my DVD/CD 'E' drives were gone. They disappeared. I went to device management and saw the following error: Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37) I tried uninstalling them. Nothing changed. I tried looking for updated drivers, it said they were up to date. I tried searching for hardware changes and nothing came up. How do I get my CD and DVD drives back. Desperate. I believe I have to change something in REGEDIT, but forgot what it was.
- HiIf the restart does not work you can ask your questions on the CD\DVDforum for your computer yes there is a REGEDIT the people on that forum willgive you the links to help you get your drives working again !The only time my drives would not work i installed burning softwarethat was not Vista ready and it took the drives out i had to remove the software andfind one that would work with my PC!Good Luck
- Restarting Will not fix your issue. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060/en-us that will
