Problem with my DVD drive (driver)!

by ineedhelpplease May 9, 2007 5:18AM PDT

Hi, I'm trying to play a DVD on my dvd drive and for some reason it is not working, in fact the icon for the dvd drive doesn't show up at all in my computer

I don't think there is actually anything wrong with the physical drive, just the driver, because it says in device manager:

"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device."

I followed the troubleshoot instructions but nothing worked, and I tried updating the driver but that doesn't work either, what else can I do?

my computer is a dell notebook: inspiron e1505 and the dvd drive is a TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L632D, the driver provider is microsoft version 5.1.2535.0

thanks for help,

Dave
