Found the NEW MESSAGE place :) My CDs will not play when inserted in twr.
I have a D-5110 puter & when I insert the audio CD(reg store CD) the cd does not play!
I have MEDIA PLAYER & QUICK-Time om my puter.
I don't know what to type in start link under RUN to start it...doesn't the puter start CDs when inserted??
The other 2 I have in the past have but not now.
I want to enjoy music & the radio.
HELP
PS: I am familiar with some aspects of puters and learn fast so don't get too technical at first, PLEASE.
I don't know where the page is that tells the "specs" of the computer :( but it has DELL 5110 on tower if this helps...I run MS windows 7 & have Office XP installed if this helps.

Code 41
Recommended resolution
A driver was loaded but Windows cannot find the device. This error occurs when Windows does not detect a non-Plug and Play device.
If the device was removed, uninstall the driver, install the device, and then click Scan for hardware changes to reinstall the driver. If the hardware was not removed, obtain a new or updated driver for the device.
If the device is a non-Plug and Play device, a newer version of the driver might be needed. To install non-Plug and Play devices, use the Add Hardware wizard. Click Performance and Maintenance on Control Panel, click System, and on the Hardware tab, click Add Hardware Wizard.
On the General Properties tab of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the Troubleshooting Wizard.
=============
There seems to be NO download listed here so could you help me with a fix here. The other link looked like nothing when I did the RUN...Key & Sub key CLASS etc...

Note We recommend that you uninstall all CD recording or CD writing programs before you delete the registry entries. You can reinstall any programs that you use after you resolve this problem.
Sky, can I just use the download GUIDE w/o UNinstalling because I do not know WHAT TO UNinstall first?? :(
These tech guides are for those familair with puters but I am a novice...WHAT would I UNinstall or CAN I do it w/o uninstalling? Do I just take a chance & use the guide?
Guess if something goes wrong I could RESTORE to an earlier date(<<
PS:Thought I did follow what you sent me earlier...but there is NO CLASS tab/key when I looked for code 31 you gave me before...sorry if I goofed!
That is why I came here, for HELP. :)

Scroll down the page to the heading OTHER REGISTRY PATCHES. Find
Restore Missing CD Drive. Download it by double-clicking it. Run it
on your system and it will UnZip. One of the files it will unzip
is CDgone. Run that and reboot.

I have done the RED part below but am stuck on what/where is the right pane(TOPIC area) to continue...
I see NO UPPER FILTERS(there is a Lower Filters) on the expansion of 4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318
I am stuck again...don't give up on me, please. At 61, I was NOT raised on computers etc...
Another message from me at BOTTOM after instructions I am stuck on...

Never make changes to your Windows Registry
without first backing it up."

Media Player and select Tools then Options from the Menu Bar. For
example, select the Devices tab and check if the CD drive is there.
If you want to reload Windows Media Player, Google the Windows Media Player
and you will find the Microsoft link for the version you are using.
If none of this resolves the WMP issue, post the problem in the Software - Windows XP
board as this is a software issue and not a CD hardware one.
