Thanks. (: after i click the arrow next to DVD/CD Rom Drives, MASHITA UJDB131 USB Device, because i am using the usb compact disc meant for laptops which dont read cd, if i pluck it out, the device manager dont show DVD/CD Rom Drives

You will need to leave the device plugged in in order to remove the device from Device Manager. Each time you plug/unplug it it's using the same drivers all the time instead of new 1's that would be re-installed in my previous post.

ello Orbital Shark @juliexzc ill leave you in his safe hands

Thanks Brian but you can still assist as i'm not sure how long i'm going to be online

cool im waiting to see if opp has tried the posts :) windows 7 is pretty good at fixing driver issues i find it better to remove problem devices and drivers and re-boot them so windows will have another go at installing.

your quote ...Thanks. (: after i click the arrow next to DVD/CD Rom Drives, MASHITA UJDB131 USB Device, because i am using the usb compact disc meant for laptops which dont read cd, if i pluck it out, the device manager dont show DVD/CD Rom Drives......

by plucking out you mean you disconnect the drive and the drive is a external usb one? you have no internal drive with the new pc?
