Here's the deal:

-I have a sony vaio with vista as my operating system.
-When I put a disc in, I can hear it making noise like its going to read it, but then nothing happens and if I go to "My Computer" its shows nothing in the drive.
-My device manager tells me this: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"

Any ideas?????

I've already tried uninstalling, restarting and reinstalling.

if that fails try the sony website and they should have all of the drivers for any pieces of equipment they supply.

Samie! You mean more to me than words can describe. I love you! 3

Also,
From the device manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc), right-click the drive in question, click properties, click the driver tab, and list the driver version.  And also list the name of the drive, which will appear both from the main device manager and the top of the driver window you just opened.  I'll check to make sure your drivers are up to date.

Those bashing vista either have never tried it and have only read about it, which is usually bad things since most people dont tend to write complaints when something is working for them. Or it just doesn't work for them. It works for me and is faster than xp has ever been for me.
