Optical drives never require a driver when used in Windows XP operating system. The OS provides native support that allows this drive to read a data or music disk and to burn a cd-r disk. I doesn't provide any support for playing dvd music disks. For that task, compatible dvd decoding software like WinDVD or PowerDVD is required.
If your drive is a laptop drive, UJ-xxx models are notoriously bad drives. If you don't believe me, just use the search button and type UJ into the box and click search. You'll see it's listed in this forum more than any other models. These US-xxxx models have about a 75% failure rate and I've personally seen one fail in less than 2 hours of usage.
If you've tried the "delete the upper and lower filters fix" discussed multiple times in the forum and it still doesn't work, then replacement is your only option since repair costs as much or more than a new driver.
