    I've been searching and running updates, but it's apparent I'm missing something or deleted something I should not have. I've seen the same question over 100 times tonight and they aren't working for me.
    1) a long time ago something happened to my CD/DVD drive and it stopped showing up in "my computer" I've been able to rig it with files on my desktop to recognize it BUT IT NEVER SHOWS MY BLU RAY DRIVE. Right now it shows up but it's just a basic CD/DVD drive. I have a blu ray in now and it wont play. how do I not only get the right drive back to but the right drive with my blu ray like before.?? I've been working on it for HOURS!!! btw the sony updates dont I can't figure it out.

    and I'm having the HDMI audio out put. it does not show my hdmi as an option. yes ive gone to control panel, sounds right clicked show hidden drives. nothing. it's not there. doesn anyone have links to DL I need to get me on the right track.

    DO I HAVE TO START WITH THE VERY FIRST UPDATES FOR THESE DRIVERS, RESTART EACH TIME AND KEEP UPDATING??
    OR SHOULD I JUST START OVER. WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM. SERVICE PACK 2
