This is usually a symptom of installing/uninstalling Easy CD Creator. You will need to edit the Registry to resolve this issue. Open Regedit and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11C E-BFC1-08002BE10318} Now delete the keys: "LowerFilters" and "UpperFilters". Now reboot and your optical drives should function again. I don't suffer from insanity, I embrace it.
