The configuration in the registry information is incomplete or damaged (Code 19)

I bought a laptop (e machines D525) recently, and last month the CD/DVD-ROM has stopped working. I always get this message "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information for configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged (Code 19).

Hello

19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
a process that solves the problem.

Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
below.

Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
contacts data with a pencil eraser.

Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

===============================

Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
do it right.

Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
the correct registry entries for your car.

Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
the parameters.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings
drive from someone with the same model.

Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the

    Hello

    1. Have you recently installed the CD/DVD drive?
    2. Are you aware of any changes made to your computer before this problem?

    A Code 19 error is caused by one or several problems with parts of the Windows registry that contains the driver and other information on the specific hardware device.

    Check the status of the device should be the first line of conduct, if you suspect that a particular device that is causing a problem, or if the device in Device Manager is marked with a yellow exclamation point.  It is also possible that the device is not compatible with this version of Windows.

  • the registry information is missing or incorrect. Please reinstall the product__

    Number of reme- this is a public forum so never post private e-mail or telephone information, I used Adobe Framemaker 8.x professional family Vista for a few years. In a few months, when I try to open the program I get the message "the registry information is missing or incorrect. Please reinstall the product. »

    I bought this one product update (a former Mac program) and for download. Download disk only allows me to remove, repair, or modify the program. Adobe says they cannot provide me with a complete program disk because mine was a backup - but I never had a Windows program, that Mac but that's another story.

    I use the drive to "fix","the program and then it starts but if I close the program, I have to start the same thing. I am not comfortable with editing the registry and wonder if there is a way I can download something or can allow someone to fix it remotely for me.

    Hi Kirksvillian,

    Given that corruption in the registry, you may need to uninstall Adobe Frame maker using utility windows cleanup, and then reinstall the application to resolve the problem. Since the question is several months system restore may not be an option.

    RESOLUTION
    Warning serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using the registry editor or by using another method. These problems may require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

    To resolve this problem, remove the affected filter drivers. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then click regedit in the list programs.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
    2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Be careful it can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must ensure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the default data value is the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM and the class data value is CDROM.
    3. in the right pane, click UpperFilters, and then click on remove.
    4. click on Yes to confirm the deletion of the UpperFilters registry entry.
    5. in the right pane, click LowerFilters, and then click on remove.
    6. click on Yes to confirm the deletion of the LowerFilters registry entry.
    7. exit the registry editor and then restart the computer.
    Note When you delete the UpperFilters registry entry and the LowerFilters registry entry, you may lose functionality in certain programs such as CD recording programs. In this scenario, you must reinstall all of the programs involved. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor to determine if an update is available for the program.
