I have an Acer Aspire AX3400G with Windows 7 Home Premium Edition. The DVD quit working a few months ago and after running the trouble shooting program I got the message "A driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32)". I thought the DVD just broke so I just bought a new one this week. (Lite-On Super AllWrite 24X SATA DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive IHAS124-04). After installing the new one my computer still doesn't recognize the new one and when running the trouble shooter again I still get the same error message. "ATAPiHAS124 W SCSI CdRom Device is not working properly. A driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32)" and when looking in my computer the drive is still not recognized. I searched the net and saw a few comments on this which stated the problem may be in the system registry. Any ideas as to what might be the problem?

I have read this before but am uneasy with deleting the filters. I have looked at them and wasn't sure about deleting them. Any added information before I jump into this?
Thanks for your reply.
