control panel admistrive tools,computer management,device manager scroll down cd dvd rom drives right click you can you can update driver,roll back driver,or
select properties general troubleshoot, select driver click to reinstall drivers click update driver or uninstall then reinstall

try reinstall it with old driver, first uninstall the updated driver, then install it again with old driver.
When it's OK, don't update the driver.

update the driver file for it....right click the drive, click properties, it will give you a description of it...go to the tab that has the driver file description and click update driver...let it go online...it will get the correct generic driver for your dvd-ram drive.

go to control panel, system, hardware, device manager, locate the drive, right click update driver, if fails, try windows update, if that fails google search for make and model and include "driver download"

you might have to update your dvd driver. Go to my computer and then properties,then disk manager. Look for the DVD driver and then update it...You might also update your windows..Hope this helps...
