umm nope...

anyway i tried roll back drivers and it didnt help...

Its said no diver files had been backed up for it...

The driver for ASUS DVD-E616P3H can be found here: Link

The Firmware Update for TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552B can be found here: Link

If that doesn't work...
I don't know if Samsung TS-H552B is the same as TSSTcorp TS-H552B but here's an update driver/firmware for that: Link

Phew! That took alot of Googling!

I cant seem to find the right driver on that wbesite, what should i select in the dropdown lists...

I searched through the ASUS website but i cant find the driver i need, could someone help, and with cd driver, i have to write the installation ot a cd for some reason, and i cant do that because my DVD drive doent work...

And thanx alot btw..

I don't think you should have 3 generic SCSI CD-rom drives together with the ASUS and TSST drive . The cardreader you have on the front of your computer is probably a USB device; you can check that by clicking on the "+"-sign before "Universal Serial Bus controlers". There should be something like "USB mass storage devices". In fact, the card reader drives should be listed under "Disk drives" (see attached screenshot).

To be honoust, I don't really have a solution for your problem . Did you try to disable and enable the ASUS and TSST devices? Maybe you can try to delete the generic SCSI DVD-ROM devices and restart your computer?

I'm surprised this hasn't been suggested already, unless I missed something and everyone but me knows its defo a driver problem

But.... if you right-click the devices with the warning sign, click properties. What does it say under Device Status?

It should help get more specific details of the problem

you're completely right, Fatfreechicken ... I'm so stupid

This is what i get if i choose the properties...

Hmm, this is the exact same error I got a while back. Iirc, I had to delete a registry key or something and reboot, but I'm not sure. I'll look into it...

K thanx alot...

Many third-party programs that control CD or DVD burning (as well as some player applications) install CD- or DVD-ROM filter device drivers into Windows. These filter drivers are meant to allow for low-level hooks into the hardware, to allow for functions such as packet writing (where a CD-R/W or DVD-/+RW can be written incrementally, like a hard disk).

These filter drivers sometimes have problems that can cause the CD or DVD drive to stop working correctly. The device entry for the CD or DVD drive in the Device Manager may show up with an error descriptor that reads "The device could not start." Additionally, there may be an error message that reads "One of the filter drivers for this device is invalid." The devices themselves do not show up in Explorer. Error codes for the device include code 31, code 32, code 19 or code 39, and sometimes the even more ominous warning "Your registry might be corrupted" appears.

Fixing the problem simply involves deleting the filter entries for the third-party device drivers. These entries can sometimes become damaged (which is what produces the "corrupt registry" warning).
