HELP!! My DVD/CD –Rom driver is GONE

hello dont panic!!

try this 1st... Your CD drive or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

what software were you trying to use?

good luck

I found the error when trying to burn a dvd from cyberlink power director 7. I think what happened is I received an e-mail from a friend. I opened an attachment that was in word 2007. It keeps trying to install word 2007. I don't have the code keys and it fails to install. Could this be the problem, and will the Micro Soft download fix it? I am rescanning for virus now, I'll try the patch when finished scanning. Thanks.

I guess they could be related. will the ms fixit work? im not sure they have 4 or 5 of them fixes for missing cd/dvd drives. you could try system restore..

let us know how it comes out!!

Thanks can't begin to say enough. So far so good. everything seams to work, last test is to burn a DVD. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again.

FIXED!! Thanks again kenny111111. All is well. I would like to know how this happened? I really don't want to go through this again. I am very carefull about opening files and downloads. Again Thanks.

you are very welcome... did the ms fix it or restore?
Its thought to be caused by different dvd burning programs that have not been fully uninsatalled....but I just think its VISTA!

anyway congrats.

I had tried restore and it didn't work, it was the ms fix.
