    Try WindowsUpdate, it might find it and download the driver for you. Also, driverguide.com is a great database of nothing but drivers. You have to register but it's free and has saved my butt several times.

    I turn off system restore so I couldn't do a system restore.

    Window XP detects Matshita UJ-842D but there is a "!" icon beside DVD/CD under Divice Manager

    I try Microsoft Windows Update and no luck.
