Need MATSHITA CD DRIVER

[brucehot]

Hello, using Win XP on a Sony PCG 505D with a Matshita UJDA755 CD.
Did a fresh windows install/new hard drive - Sony website DOES not have the correct driver - where to get it, without paying???

To resolve this behavior, follow these steps: 1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
4. Locate the LowerFilters value under the same key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
5. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
6. Quit Registry Editor.NOTE: After you remove the Upperfilters value and the Lowerfilters value, if you notice lost functionality in a particular program, such as CD recording software, you may need to reinstall that software. If the problem recurs, consult with the software vendor for assistance.

Thanks

The only choice was a driver upgrade and that failed.

Why is this so hard?

I had this proiblem a few years ago with a Toshiba Satellite and had to hunt all over the web - Toshiba was no help.

I need to find the orginal driver, not the upgrade

Thanks

are both these keys supposed to be identical as you sent them to me???

if you read this, i would appreciate your response - the key shows only the upper filter and not the lower - i assume i should just delete the upper and then restart?

thanks
