Recently, the driver for my CD/DVD writer/reader drive has stopped working.
When I check the Device Manager I see a exclamation point above my CD/DVD Drive and when I open the properties for it I get the following message:
"Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)
Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available."
I clicked Check for Solutions and nothing came up at all and when I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it I get a pointless "Failed" error when it installs the driver.
