DVD-ROM - Driver not recognized

[Guest TJD]

After of year of working, my external USB DVD burner would not load the

device driver. The hardware was correctly recognized in Vista 64-bit (as

well as in my BIOS). I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, using other USB

ports, trying to update driver, and booting in Safe Mode. Nothing worked.

Odd thing is that when I did check to update the driver Vista reports I have

the latest version of the driver installed. So, I assumed it was a bad drive

and bought a new one today (different brand) - same thing. Any solutions or

ideas on this? Thanks, Tom

Thanks Carlos, that was the solution (and thanks for all the great help you

give on this newsgroup). But, does anyone know what these "filters" are and

how to prevent this from happening again?

Read Darrell Gorter notes below mine in that page.
