Hi guys,
I recently purchased a brand new HP laptop and about 2 weeks into it my Cd
Rom disappeared. It will open, but not run cds or show up through my
computer, only device manager. It displays CODE 41 and says the latest
driver was detected, but not the device. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

Goto http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.php#problems
See the second "problem" (read the caveats)
Run the provided registry patch

That should fix your problem (basically, a filter driver is missing or
non-operational, the registry patch will delete the filter drivers
references for your cdrom(s))

Basically, the reg file from above carries out the steps displayed at this
website

(It'll fix code 41 errors too as per the contents of the last kb article)
