wouldnt let me do a reply ok im just attaching a bmp of it hopfully it works:!!!:

[Eagle]

I'm not seeing this one either. Save it as a jpeg file, if you are in Windows 98 you will need a program like Paint Shop Pro www.jasc.com

[Buck_Bucholz]

it says when its a jpeg its to large to attach

[Buck_Bucholz]

Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) ok because im too retarded to post a pic this is what it says after i uninstalled it and tried to reinstall



do i need a new drive?

Resize it then. Or upload it and post a link.

seeing you have a toshiba dvd-rom.. i think you have a toshiba laptop maybe?

if its a combo drive, you might have installed the wrong version of Easy CD Creator... happened to me, and i didnt have a working drive for about 2 weeks.. :S:S:S

oh here is my sepcs...hey i cant remember what program to run to pull up all my specs....know what im sayin? anyway i think i have narrowed it down to my scsi host adapters? and im trying to narrow down what drivers i need..will downloading th wrong drivers screw anything up?? anyway i might be totally off at the scsi thing.....SCSIClassName="SCSI and RAID controllers"

ADP = "Adaptec"
aha154x.DeviceDesc = "Adaptec AHA-154X/AHA-164X SCSI Host Adapter (non-pnp)"
sparrow.DeviceDesc = "Adaptec AHA-151X/AHA-152X or AIC-6260/AIC-6360 SCSI Host Adapter (non-pnp)"

i might be totally off anyway thanx for everyones help

[Buck_Bucholz]

anyway does anyone think they know what i mean about the scsi stuff?? like if i download the wrong drivers will it fudge anything??

or even if it sounds like i may be on the right track....i know someone might, u guys r smart....

[Buck_Bucholz]

ok i was going through dxdiag to get to msinfo so i could find all my specs to send to a help page...then i went to system info and i saw problem devices so i clicked and this is what i sawed!!

[Buck_Bucholz]

just need to figue out what a vxd loader is now

[Eagle]

You neeed to find the drivers and reinstall them.

[Buck_Bucholz]

for the vxd loader?

[Buck_Bucholz]

will the wrong drivers hurt my system? and u mean drivers for vxd loader right

[Doomulation]

the vxd loader is part of the drivers... :sleepy:
And no...driver will not HURT your system, although they might not help either...

First of all, is this a IDE drive, or a SCSI? My assumsion is that this is an IDE drive; there is no section on SCSI in your Device Manager.

If this is a IDE drive, then this is what I would do:

uninstall either the secondary or the primary channel where your DVD drive is on, then reboot your computer. XP should redect whatever was uninstalled, and another reboot should bring your DVD drive back online.

If this does not work, try unstalling the busmaster driver and reboot the computer.
