Is this it? I tried to find one which best matched your description - If you have the model number, the LEGO website offers a great service to find old manuals

Hope this Helps,

P.S. PLEASE RATE MY ASSISTANCE

1. ensure drive is recognized by the BIOS (It should be ID'd by model in BIOS
2. If drive is seen normally in bios, then try the fixit utility in this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
3. See if you can boot to the drive using your Vista DVD and run a repair my computer from DVD
4. If none of the above works, replace the drive. If system will boot to DVD, then reinstall Vista

The problem is that the baseline W98SE does not recognize the drive ID as a valid drive. W98 knows nothing about DVD drives. You need to find the driver for the DVD. That driver will update the ID tables so that the OS will recognize the ID. WIthout that driver, you are out of luck.


Keep us posted,

Most likely. Box says 95/98 ME XP

go to service.mattel.com and click on instruction manuals and you should be able to print them out

If your DVD/CDROM is not working ie..playing movies or not installing programs it may be becuase you have installed a software program that edited the regitry for the DVD/CDROM - (Limewire, any burning software, etc..) windwos installs an Upperfilter and or a Lowerfilter in the registry for the CDROM - to correct this follow these instructions:

To resolve this problem, remove the affected filter drivers.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box (Vista) or regedit in the Run box (XP), and then click Regedit in the
Programs list if in Vista or click Open in XP.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue. (Vista)
2. Locate, and then click the following registry subkeys: (must be exact keys)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Control
Class
Once you have clciked Class the click Edit on the menu at the top
Copy and paste the following key including the curly braces into the Find What box.
Click "Find Next"
