Yep, the driver is included in the OS. Buy a new drive - they are ridiculously cheap <Smile>

Hi Mark, I have never seen drivers for a DVD drive. I'm sure some exists, but PCs I had; the drive just worked.

It has several issues that I am addressing but the one that is most noticeable at this point is that the DVD drive quit working.

So, i looked in the device manager and it says that the driver is missing or corrupt. I told the computer to update the driver and it says I already have the latest driver for the device. So, I went to Google and tried to hunt down the manufacture of the drive and the driver for it. I thought if I uninstalled the driver and installed a new one things would start working again. Well, I never found the driver but I found an entire list of websites complaining that the people have run in to the same trouble. So, I went back in to the device manager and disabled the driver for now. My question is considering how many people appear to be having this issue, is it worth fixing the driver or should I just go out and get a different drive? If I delete the driver will it automatically find the drive and install the newest driver? > My DVD drive is an Optiarc DV RW AD-7530a ATA device. > Thank you for your help. > > God bless, > Mark > > For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: > http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ > For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
