I'm testing windows XP, but after install some software, the CD-ROM driver or the registry seems to be corrupt. Any ideas about how to resolve this without reinstall XP? Have in mind that under XP I don't have CD access. My CD-ROM is a Phillips PCRW804, but this seems to afect any cd-rom

Haved you downloaded all the updates for XP. I had a similar problem that the update fixed.

One other thing to consider. Did you install any new burn software. (Adaptec in particular). I did this and my drivers are also locked. If this is your problem Adaptec is comming out with a patch for actual XP compatability.

Yes, I installed Nero 5.5.1. Also I installed MusicMatch Jukebox, but I don't know what has happened. The Cd-rom is still missing...

No, I don't have an Internet connection in this computer. Nor I have a floppy, so how can I get an update?

This is a problem with Nero 5.5.5.1.  The same thing happened to about 5 other people 
as well as myself on a different chat board.  Here is a solution: (First uninstall 
nero. And do a system restore or start from step 3)

Solution #1:

Step 1: before u install Nero 5551, create a system resore point.

step 2: install Nero 5551

Step 3: copy the Nero directory (incl sub directories) into another folder. I just 
zipped all the files and saved it.

Step 4: restore the machine to the system restore point created in Step 1.

Step 5: Move the files back into the Nero directory

Here is another but I'm not sure where to get forceaspii

Solution #2:

Obtain a program called forceaspii

did that to me too. uninstalled nero, put it back in and run forceaspii. its all 
good now

After missing my CD, I format my HD & reinstalled WinXP again. Then I installed Nero 5.5.5.1 without problem. The applicattion that fuc*s the CD seems to be MusicMatch JukeBox. I skip this one cause it includes a driver for the CD that isn't verified by Microsoft. I've been investigating the solutions you exposed, and Win XP seems to do not have the ASPI layer needed by some cd-burnig softwares.
