    Did you try uninstalling the driver from Device Manager (RMB> Uninstall) then refresh ?

    OK Try this

    NOTE: After removing these registry keys and rebooting, it may be necessary to reinstall any CD or DVD recording applications.

    1) Close all open programs

    2) Click on Start, Run, and type REGEDIT and press Enter

    3) Click on the plus signs (+) next to the following folders

    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    * SYSTEM
    * CurrentControlSet
    * Control
    * Class
    * {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    4) This folder is the DVD/CD-ROM Drive Class Description in the registry. Look for any of the following names in the right hand column.

    * UpperFilters
    * LowerFilters
    * UpperFilters.bak
    * LowerFilters.bak

    5) If any of the above keys shown in step 4 are listed, right-click on them and choose Delete

    6) After deleting the keys, close the Registry Editor

    7) Reboot your computer

    8) Open My Computer and check to see if your CD or DVD drives have returned. You may also want to open Device Manager and verify that the yellow exclamation and error code on the CD or DVD drive is gone.


    :D ;)

    Well I have never had this problem ever on any of my PC.
    But one combination of this error was a conflict with Roxio and Nero software on this PC I was working on mainly due to a packet writing softwares which allows a disk to be used more or less like a floppy disk. By uninstalling both software and reinstalling but leaving out the packet software things seem fine..
    Also this link I gave you had booked marked under Tweaks & fix on XP/Vista in my book marks...
    I'm sure you'll find the info about the said filters.. :)
