Code 19 Registry Error

[jeniferv]

Yesterday I put Windows 2000 driver CD into my CD-Rom drive and suddenly my laptop doesn't "see" that drive anymore.

When I go to system/hardware, it's telling me that I'm having a Device Manager Error Code 19 and that my registry might be corrupted. I found this information that may possibly fix this problem for me, BUT I have no idea what an upperfilter or lowerfilter is. Can anyone help me shed some light on this??

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Hi:

Follow steps:

Start, Run, Regedit, find key, select key, expand it. then delete the to sub keys listed. I have no idea what they mean. I ran into the same problem after adding a BackPack-CDR to my system.
Good Luck
Carter

Thanks again,

Just type in 'Error code 39' in youtube search, my video solution will come up. It works for error codes 19, 31, 32 and 39.

Please Help...I am not an expert...I have a DellE-510 pc with and optiarc dvd+-rw nd-3570A dvd/cd burner...The burner was working fine up until last friday...Now the system is telling me I have a code 19 registry error...I have tried everything, including removing the upper and lower filters in the registry key...still won't acknowledge them...is the driver shot? what else can I do short of buying anew internal or external drive? when I load a cd the green light blinks for about 20 seconds and then goes dark...

I was trying to install a new CD-RW (external) for my laptop and everyhting was fine but can't see the drive. Looked at device manager and found the drive is there but not working and thais was the erro
"Code 19 - Your registry might be corrupted"
I uninstalled the drive and restarted and reinstalled again but still same problem
Tried to update the drivers, still same problem.
Checked MS site but did not find any real solution (they said to change the bios or something like that).
Anyone know what is going on?
