XP Pro can't recognise cd rom drive

[Jim]

Basically a new xp installation using the same cd rom drive. After the
installation, I spend a few days to get familiar with the xp features. Next
install the modem. Now, why is that it cannot recognised the cd rom drive? [I
cannot tell for sure whether cd rom drive does not work immediately after the
modem installation as I did not try using the cd rom then. Any idea as what
could be wrong with the cd rom drive? Thanks

Upgraded recently to XP Home Edition. Now CD ROM, DVD R/RW "driver
corrupted or missing. Code 39." I will watch for progress you make on this
site. Good luck

Thanks Jim. I received directions from GatewaY beginning with REGEDIT,
deleting "Upperlifters" and "Lowerlifters" which resolved the problem
beautifully. Let me know if you wish me to share details. Happy New Year.
