Bob, I did exactly what what said in the directions, however no luck!! My cdrom shows up in safe mode, but not in regular boot! HELP!!

Thx! i really needed this now it's working fine again!

there's no UpperFilters and LowerFilters in my Registry Editor, I still can't fix my problem, my CDROM still doesn't show and i can't install programs and play CD'S, HELP!

EDITOR'S NOTE: Did you try completely uninstalling and re-instaliing the CDROM device?

EDITOR'S NOTE: That's a bit vague... when does the "!" symbol appear?

EDITOR'S NOTE: I haven't held any secrets back here... if the registry trick doesn't work, and you've tried re-installing the driver software, then I'm stumped. You may have to re-install the operating system if some files have become damaged.

Your fix worked when nothing else did. You are a genius. Thank you!

Hi, i have done all the things that you have said and there only appears to be a lowerfilters file but NO upperfilters. What should i do?

EDITOR'S NOTE: I don't think it can hurt to remove the lowerfilters entry.

great work thank you for posting this fix !

Why do we need to change the registry? Your solution does work..but I just wanted to know why? And what does lower key and upper key mean?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Some programs, when installed or uninstalled, may trample on the Windows registry, or leave behind registry keys that can confuse the operating system. We're just cleaning up the mess with this little trick.

I have a missing CD/rom Icon missing. I can't find the lower filter and upper filters. What should I do?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Did you try removing, rebooting, and then re-adding the hardware (and software drivers)?
