Hi I had the problem and the trick worked fine, but there is something strange. I
had two partition one a copy of the first (done with partition magic). I had the
problem when working on the second partition(uninstallling clonecd) . When I noticed
the problem I tried to go back to the first partition and I was surprise that the
problem with the cd rom was also there.
Even more surprising After reading the registry trick here I apply it on my second
partition it solved the problem on that partition but also when I swithed to the
first partition the problem was solved and when I checked the registry entry in that
first partition the troubling key (lower etc...) was not there anymore.
How it possible that changing a registry key inside one partition affect another
one which is supposed to be hidden and innactive ? Are the registry files shared
in some way by several partitions ?
Thanks
