Ok I did a search and cant find anything regarding my problem, I have recently made my own computer and it worked fine for months, I then tried to install a sound card but have since taken out the sound card as it wont read my CD-Rom Drive or My DVD Drive, I have disconnected it from the motherboard and started it up and then reconnected then started it back up but it still is not showing in my computer
Only use this if you are familiar with editing the registry. Backup before deleting Start-run-type REGEDIT HKLM-\currentcontrolset\controlclass Key name-{4d36e965-e325-11cebfc1-08002be10318] Value data [delete all value data from UpperFilters ans LowerFilters] Do not delete the key or the multi-string values. Only the data values. exit regedit and reboot.
