After I uninstall DirectCD... all my ATAPI devices have disappeared!!? - Club CDFreaks

fezz · 01-02-2004

Anybody experience this before?

After uninstalling my DirectCD v5.3.5 thru Add/Remove Programs, my DVD-ROM, CD-RW & DVD-RW drives have disappeared... Under Device Manager, all those devices have yellow exclamation marks on them.

When I do a RESTORE everything is OK.
Running WinXP Pro-SP1 +all updates...

This is a very old and well-known issue with Roxio. You will find articles on this here, as well as in the MSKB and at Roxio.
