Please explain what a driver w/the FF string means?

going to RUN and encoding regedit --man you totally lost me on this one. I'm not surprised that your drive doesn't work.


Optical drives never require a driver when used in Window Vista OS.

If your problem is non-detection, ie: drive is not listed in "My Computer", please read post #24 in this thread: http://forums.driverguide.com/showthread.php?t=21669&page=4

It contains instructions on the delete the upper and lower filters fix

Also, there is a STICKY posted in this forum that contains a file from Microsoft and instructions that will do this registry edit automatically instead of having to do it manually.


And here's another method that will do this automatically for you if you're afraid to edit the registry manually.

(automatic fix, post #7, download file: CdGone.zip)


Alternately, download and install the DVD fix from the Web site below.

After performing this registry fix, just reboot the pc. Now your drive should be visible in My Computer and work properly.
