After uninstall of Ulead MF4 cd/dvd rom no longer visible
I installed the trial version of Ulead DVD MF 4, I didn't like it so I uninstalled it and now my cd and dvd rom is no longer being recognized by my computer. I have Windows XP Pro. I know its Ulead because it was working fine right before I uninstalled Ulead. Anyone know how to fix this. I've tried to remove them and let Windows recognize them again but they still show the yellow exclamation point next to them in device manager. Boy this sucks!

Try this:
The following solution is regarding to a problem with Roxio/Adaptec Easy CD Creator installation/uninstallation, but it fixed for me on other ocasions.
1. Log on with Administrative Privileges
2. Open the Registry Editor:
- Click on "Start" then select "Run"
- Type "regedit" and click "OK"
3. Backup your registry:
a) Highlight "My Computer" by clicking on it once.
b) At the top of the page you should see "File"(Win XP) or "Registry" (Win 2000),
click on this and then select "Export Registry File"
c) The following screen will allow you to select where you would like to save this backup and what file name you would like to save it as.
d) Please note at the bottom of the screen where it says export range "All"; this should be selected to ensure your entire registry is backed up completely.
e) Give the File a name and click on the "SAVE" button (this will bring you back to the registry editor)
4.Remove the UpperFilters and LowerFilters values by:
a) Expand the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" key (looks like a folder) by double clicking it (or clicking the "+" next to it.)
b) Expand the "SYSTEM" Key
c) Expand the "CurrentControlSet" Key
d) Expand the "Control" Key
e) Expand the "Class" Key
f) Please look for a key containing the following string of letter and numbers:
{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}.
g) Highlight this key by left clicking once on it
h) On the right hand side you are looking for "UpperFilters" and "LowerFilters", once you find these please delete them - high light them (clicking on them once) and then delete them by "Right" clicking on them and choosing "delete" (or pressing "Delete" on your keyboard.)
5. Close the Registry Editor, click on "File" and then click on "Exit"
6. Restart your computer. Your CD/DVD Drives should be back and functioning.
