Alcohol 120 corrupted my dvd driver

Burning Software
#1

running Vista, everything sweet untill i installed Alcohol 120, I got blue screen, and it continued to blue screen every boot until i booted from last known good config.

I immediately uninstalled and deleted Alcohol 120.

Now the dvd reads:Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

Uninstalled driver & rebooted, still same message [with yellow ! mark on its listing in device manager]

isatap.domain also has ! mark on its listing in device manager.

No dvd movie or game will be read, it simply says please insert media, lights up like normal but nothing registers.

it is a LG HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GSA-4166B ATA

any sugestions/fixes, its not reading anything at all. I can’t even reformat in fear of windows disc simply not being read

What version of Alcohol did you install?

#3

version 1.9.2.1705, got from limewire.

Have moved dvdrw to old computer, it works fine.

moved old cdrw to this computer & same problem, driver corrupted or missing.

Have searched net, found nothing.

is i such a common driver noone posts it?

So…

A) You downloaded an illegal version from a P2P source and

B) You installed a version [B]NOT COMPATIBLE WITH VISTA[/B]

Sorry, you’ll have to figure this one out yourself.

We do not provide any support for illegal versions of Alcohol. If you choose to steal a piece of software then you must live with the consequences.
