Pioneer dvd-rw dvr-k17 problem

This worked: thanks to riozebratubo

delete the entires in regedit.exe

"UpperFilters"
"LowerFilters"

They're inside:

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

-uninstall the driver
- restart

Vista is searching for existing drivers -> done

Yeah. I think when i reformatted i removed all the unnecesary bloatware that came with the Vaio. One thing i uninstalled was Roxio and some other CD software...apparently those contain the drivers for the cd drive. So just reinstall those drivers and you should get your cd/dvd back

You should go to the system's registry editor and erase those keys:

"UpperFilters"
"LowerFilters"

They're inside:

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

This problem occurs when uninstalling Easy Cd Creator. You know how crappy a piece of software is when it takes away your DVD driver.

have VGN FZ190 (sony customized model notebook). Now the problem is that it show no dvd drive on MyComputer but shows in Device Manager yellow triangle @ pioneer dvd-rw dvr-k17 ata with properties remark "The device cannot start (Code 10)".
Looking forward to help to fix the problem.

Removing the lower and upper filter registry files worked and then uninstalling and reinstalling the drive worked Awesome!!!

Well I have the same problem but when I deleted them in the registry edit its not reading anything anymore.

where can i get the drivers?

OS is vista premium

hi guys the solution is uninstall recient updates.

i cant erase upper oe lower filter so what should i do

if you uninstall the latest update from microsoft with the SP1 download your dvd will start working again, after I uninstalled the update everything went back to normal, I read in another forum that if you download that sp1 update then uninstalled all the programs that used the dvd player and reinstalled them ( Itunes,dvd burners,limewire, everyhitng)and he said after he did that everything was fine, but that seems like a lot of work, it was easier to uninstall update and wait for the patch for the update, can microsoft ever get anything right,.

Same problem on an HP Pavilion DV 6700

Hi to all,
I have a sony vaio vgn-cr 35 G_L with pioneer dvd-rw dvr k17 ata and OS vista home premium. Same reported problem, is working but at three months after I bought it, was not reading all discs. Even my own photos discs that I burned on this machine I can't read anymore. Is reading only genuine discs(CD,DVD). The problem is not with the driver itself. I read that Microsoft is fighting against piracy and this "driver loose" is part of this fight. Please note that all complains on all forums are coming from OS Vista users. Our real problem is OS Vista with its included soft Star Force Protection for reading ONLY GENUINE discs, that is blocking the dvd-rw original driver and in my opinion, is loading Microsoft driver even if you will have the correct driver or is not loading any driver at all. Now I can not delete this OS due to my location but soon than I will be home I will wipe off this VISTA and I think that my dvd-rw problems would be history. At least for the moment because the guys working for Microsoft would find a way to force us to use Vista and to make our properties unusable.

i have the same problem help me please doesnt read anything and doesnt show up in my computer!!!

have VGN FZ290. Now the problem is that it show no dvd drive on MyComputer but shows yellow triangle on Device Manager as"YX3808M SVO066H SCSI CdRom Device
