MY CD drive was working OK this morning. Later, while installing a
trial version of Ghost 9, I had to reinstall the COM service on my
system (XP Home). After I got Ghost working, I noticed Explorer was not
recognizing the CD drive, but it shows in the BIOS and the tray ejects
OK. Device Mgr shows an exclamation point and the message that Windows
"loaded the correct driver but cannot find the device." I tried
uninstalling/reinstalling the driver, physically
disconnected/reconnected the drive, cleared the upper/lower filters in
the registry, Doug Knox's tweak...no change. When I tried to upgrade the
driver, the message was "cannot find the device." Did reinstalling the
COM service somehow affect the CD drive operation? What should I try next?
