Hello,

I hope someone can help me. I run Windows XP on a Packard Bell Easynote

laptop. The laptop is 2 years old.

I have an error message in device driver for the CD?DVD driver: Windows

successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the

hardware device. (CODE 41).

When i uninstall the driver, and run the "add hardware wizard" i get the

error message: A problem occurred during hardware installation. Your hardware

may not work properly.

Does anyone have any ideas how i can solve this problem as it means i cannot

use my integral CD/DVD drive.

Thanks for any help.
