CD/DVD drives are plud and play, no drivers required. You might try running this application
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_cd_dvd_fix.htm It's a XP fix, but sources say it also works for Vista. It's just deleting the upper/lower filter keys This post has been edited by garmanma: Aug 4 2008, 06:55 PM -------------------- Mark

Optical drives should be plug-and-play. However, there might be times in which additional drivers are necessary. After checking your drive's model number, DVR-K17A, I came across a forum in which the user is having a similar problem. Here's the link. The message states that you should go to Microsoft and try the second method on this page.

It's helpful for people that are leary about editing the registry -------------------- Mark

I have seen couple of peripherals not installing with Vista. Registry tweaks are sometimes required for them. Not sure exactly what is to be done.
