    Hi!

    I bought my FZ190 custom about a month ago, the cd drive has been working fine until last week...

    It doesn't read anything...

    so I go to device manager and:

    [​IMG]

    It says:

    "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged (code 19)"

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Thank You!

    That's what they told me to do after I installed itunes. It fixed the problem. After which I immediately reinstalled itunes and now it works without that problem. Not sure why.

    Hello

    Reasons for this error include a driver that is not present; a binary file that is corrupted; a file I/O problem, or a driver that references an entry point in another binary file that could not be loaded.
