please give me a site where i can download a driver for my TOSHIBA DVDROM SD-1712. thanks a lot for anybody who can help

Hi Daniel. Toshiba says its DVD roms don't need special drivers. http://sdd.toshiba.com/cda/main.aspx?Path=/818200000007000000010000659800000001/818200000111000000010000659c000003c7/818200000103000000010000659c000003ca Does the drive show up in Device Manager? http://www.wown.com/j_helmig/wxpdevmg.htm If it is in your Device Manager - Is it that your DVD drive doesn't play DVDs? You may need DVD software which is software for playing DVDs rather than a driver. Most DVD drives come with software to play DVDs but if yours didn't you can buy the software. I use PowerDVD. http://www.gocyberlink.com/english/products/product_main.jsp?ProdId=28 You can search for other software on the internet. There may even be free ones. Take care, Linda

It seems that my computer messed up and I had to reformat my hard drive and when everything was ok , i looked and saw that my dvd player was lost. the one that I was using was the Toshiba dvd-rom sd-m1202, can you please tell me what to do to try and find it on my computer or do I have to reinstall the hardware or a driver, and if so will you tell me how to do it...
