I have Lite On DVD-RW LH-20A1P installed with OS Windows 7. Windows cannot start this hardware drive because its configuration information (in the Registry) is incomplete or damaged (Code 19)

Please describe the problem that you are experiencing.

I was having a problem getting my dvd (Lite-On LH-20A1P) to read my cds. I found a very simple solution that worked for me. I hope the following procedure works for others.

I have windows xp (I believe this solution may work for other window versions)

Go to "My Computer" on desktop (or in Start) and right click on it.

Click "Properties"
On the tabs at the top, click on "Hardware"
Click on "Device Manager"
Click the plus sign beside "DVD/CD ROM drives"
Double-click on Lite-On
On the tabs at the top, click on "Properties"
At the bottom, there is a box that is most likely checked that reads...
"Enabled digital CD audio for this CD-Rom device"

Uncheck it.

Do the same for all DVD/CD Rom devices you may have.

This simple solution worked for me. Now both my DVD and CD Roms are reading all of my cds.

I would suggest trying this simple step first before downloading any drivers or buying any 'Driver Update' programs - which may cause you even more problems than you are already having.

If windows 7 does not pick up the drivers on its own then i suggest going onto the website to find them, they normally have driver updates there that should work fine.

If all you are looking for is a driver Windows should automatically detect one for you.

You may have a virtual drive installed on your PC. (ex: Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120%, etc). If this is the case, make sure they are not set to automatically "mount" or start-up with windows. I had this same problem just today... fixed it by removing the auto-start feature and reinstalling the .CD/DVD burner/

You shouldn't need it unless your needing the Nero program that came with it.

If thats what you need will have to contact lite-on to get one.

Here is the web link to get drivers and software if you need it:
