My CD drives stopped working when I uninstalled Easy CD Creator (error code 19). I found the thread to correct this problem, but I can't quite get all the right steps. I have Windows 2000. My computer won't let me delete the key (security permission). I have found how to edit my security permission, but when I deleted the key, it deleted all the subkeys as well. I restored my system with "reboot with last good configuration". Would someone please provide step by step instructions to permit me to delete a registry key and not everything else with it? My kids can't play any computer games until fix this. Thanks!
