Hi all,
The current situ is I've followed Joe's advice and used "method two" as per his earlier thread not knowing what to expect. It went thru it's paces very quickly and I thought that I would then find the CD/DVD icon back in the Device Manager and that Hoster would then recognise the drive also. No such luck I'm afraid, it hasn't changed anything. I'm left wondering whether I missed a step.
In answer to dtbice's query, no I don't have an external CD/DVD drive available but I will try a system restore next and see how it goes. This function is currently disabled but I can soon turn it back on.
Will keep you all posted.
Cheers everyone!
Lloyd
