Solved My Laptop suddenly does not recognize my DVD/CD drive?

[billberry12]

Just stopped seeing anything. I tried updating driver but it couldn't find the hardware to install it on.
I did that in Device manager.

Any ideas, other than going to best buy and getting a usb connected drive?
Thanks,
Bill

See if this helps:
The CD drive or the DVD drive does not work as expected on a computer that is running Windows Vista

Print and Video are the only subclasses under the control file.

You should have quite a few keys under Class:

I got it running. Thanks so much for your help. I was almost in panic mode.

Glad that you got it working again. Nearly every time I uninstall iTunes from a computer, the CD/DVD goes missing. I've had to delete those upper and lower filters many times over the last decade or so.
