This will clear the upper & lower filters too..
May be a bit easier to use..

The easiest way to check without going into the registry, would be to go to
Device Manager, open DVD/CD-ROM drives, right click one of your optical
drives, select properties from the menu, Details tab, you should see "Device
Instance Id" and a drop down arrow (v), click it, move the mouse pointer
down the list to highlight Device Upper filters and click it, do the same
for the Device Lower filters, Class Upper & Lower filters as well to see and
take note of their contents.. Also, there should be just 4 MS signed drivers
in the Drivers tab, driver details button, driver files details window, may
want to check, your call..

MS signed drivers: cdrom.sys, imapi.sys, redbook.sys, storprop.dll

See any other drivers in the filters..?
Cheers

Out of the blue, when trying to play a dvd or cd I receive an error
message
that device cannot be found. Drive does not show up in My Computer.
Drive
has an "!" symbol under its listing in Device Manager. I have tried to
unistall and reinstall. Nothing. Have also looked for an updated
driver -
nothing. Its a TSSTcorp TS-L532B. Any help is appreciated.
