    Hey guys I installed Windows 7 yesterday and I love it. However I was just going to burn a cd and I saw that I had no dvd drive. I went into device manager and saw this -

    Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)

    I tried updating the drivers but it said that the drivers are up to date. Anyone has a solution to this problem? Thanks.

    Instead of simply updating the driver, which obviously hasn't worked for you, did you try uninstalling the driver first? Quite often you need to uninstall a driver before you can install a new driver.

    Ok thanks for the link. And to Jeremy yes I did uninstall it but it made no difference. This better not happen in the final release.
