Re: Re: [H]DVDRW disappeared from WinXP

[Julian Zottl]

I've run into this problem before.  I use to encrypt my Temp directories.  While applying various M$ patches, the files became corrupted and/or unreadable.  If this is the case for you, you have to find all of the encrupted files in the $windir and replace them with non-encrypted versions.

Hope that helps!
Julian

It's not these two keys is it?
