I wonder if anyone knows why this actually happens?.
About two weeks ago I noticed that my DVD/CD-ROM wasn't working, so I checked Device Manager and it was listed as error 19, registry settings incorrect. I googled it, and found a Microsoft technical bulletin that explained how to correct the problem using regedit and a reboot - job done I thought.
Anyway, a week later (last Sunday) I was talking on MSN to my daughter at Uni and she said her DVD/CD-ROM had died as well (Vista on Sony Vaio), so I talked her through Device Manager, to find she had the same problem - so I sent her the link, and she sorted it.
Came home from work tonight, and my wife complains that her Sony Vaio DVD/CD-ROM isn't working?. Exactly the same problem, edited the registry, rebooted, and as good as new again.
The two Vaio laptops are about 18 months old, and my tower is about 9 months - how come they all had the same problem within a few days of each other?.
