Were you trying to use your CD/DVD drive and to your horror found that it is not working? You can still see it listed in "Computer" but if you click on it, you get "Access Denied".
Troubleshooting it in Device Manager, you receive the following error message: Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. To fix this problem you can first try running a Troubleshooting Wizard. If that does not work, you should uninstall and then reinstall the hardware device. (Code 19)
Code 19 is a common error message because NERO, Roxio, and similar CD/DVD recording software and also updates for Windows VISTA and possibly iTunes and Google Earth are causing issues. It can create problems with your sound as well.
Uninstalling these installations or updates will not resolve the issue, because these programs leave a permanent problem inside your registry. If you follow the Windows Troubleshoot advice, you get suggestions that will attempt to fix the problem, but then on completion reports to not having had any success.
How do you fix this error?
Even removing the device, uninstalling the driver, and then reinstalling both does nothing to fix it.
You can try to update the driver and the wizard will say there is no better driver found for the hardware.
Getting as drastic as copying your installation CD to a flash card on another PC won't resolve the issue.
When you realize that you're running out of options, you really start to sweat! No removable storage devices can operate, not even external USB drives.
You may want to try to manually copy the device drivers, but you're already doomed to failure.
You are now considering grabbing your credit card and head off to the shops to buy a new drive? Don't! It will NOT fix the problem. I've been through all of the above it was still stuck with the problem. I even bought and ran several "Registry Repair" packages, and ended up with a PC unable to even boot.
But take heart - there IS an elegant solution to this seemingly problem-without-resolution. By dint of hard work and determination I have eventually found a solution to this and some other problems: A virtual One-Click-Fix! The link below will lead you to satisfaction.
