  Hello

  I oddly found the solution to my problem while browsing through the suggestions of SpritX at the following link: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/771598.htm

  Here is the solution I implemented and now my drive works perfectly:

  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.

  Hi Garry_x,

  1. were you able to use the DVD burner before with no problems?

  2. you remember to make changes to the computer recently?

  This can occur when more than one service is defined for a device, if there is a failure at the opening of the service registry entry, or if the driver name cannot be obtained from the service registry entry.

  You can check out the following link and check for the resolution:

  Hello

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

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack.

  Normally the above will solve this problem otherwise working your way down through them, even if you did
  them before.

  Windows 7 no sound at all

  Hello

  I would like to ask help for Win 7 problem 'No audio '.

  I have a Win 7 64-bit Professional desktop PC. It has a motherboard Asus P5Q - EM.
  Previously, everything worked very well over a year, but now there is no sound at all. I see a little red x in addition to the speacer icon.

  I got a craphics card problem and it has been replaced, and shortly after, I didn't notice that no audio problem.

  First of all, I tried to fix the external audio card drivers - no help. Then I thought to use the motherboard
  audio only and removed the external audio card. I have cheked Bios that there is audio compatible motherboard.
  Windows Manager device shows Audio Realtek High Definetion. (Once I reinstalled externally
  audio card, but did not get it to work and I deleted again and focused on getting the Audio motherboard
  work.)

  Through the Device Manager, I uninstalled the device Audio from Realtek motherboard and all other audio related devices and start the PC.
  After you start Windows 7 detects audio devices well and tries to install the drivers but still said the driver installation failed.

  I also used the troubleshooter in Windows 7. According to the material and audio, I clicked on the audio playback troubleshooting. The system has tried to install the drivers, but all have failed in similar way as after rebootig.

  When I go to see the Audio the Realtek High Defenetion properties, it says:
  Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

  I downloaded the latest drivers (some 54 Mb file called: 64bit_Vista_Win7_R267) Realtek www-site and run it, but no help. Same problem - no sound at all.

  If I run application system information and go to the "components" > "Problem Devices", it is said Realtek High Definition Audio, error code: failure using the VxD loader. It is also noted on the VAN Miniport (IKEv2), error code: this device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device.

  I also unplug the beam of the motherboard front audio jack. I thought it may create a connector related issues, but he did not make a difference.

  If I ask the system to update the driver using Device Manager, it says that the piloted is up-to-date.

  I checked the details Realteck Sound Device in the Device Manager and it says under the number "Problem code" 13.

  Also other devices under device 'Video controls and sound game' managers do not work. I uninstalled all the. After reboot Windows 7 detects all the. Win 7 tries to install the drivers, but always fails and yellow! singing appears next to all devices.

  Under the NIC in Device Manager there is another device with the yellow! sign as well. The WAN Miniport (IKE v2). I don't know if it has something to do with this audio problem? Win 7 detects it as well after uninstalling and tries to install drivers after the start, but is also always fails.

  Now, I'm confused and I don't know if the problem is really in the Windows registry database? What is error code 13 of Realtek Audio device and what is actually the VxD loader problem?

  I'm completely lost on how to proceed with this problem.

  Can someone give advice on how to continue with this question...

  I plugged the the hardware id in the Microsoft Update Catalog and the device is identified as a C-Media CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio Device but there only Windows 2000/XP drivers available through Windows Update (you need to install the ActiveX control to view and download the drivers):

  However there are a of the drivers mentioned in the following link that can run, and I suggest to try:

  I recommend the creation of a System Restore Point before trying new drivers.
