    I accidentally deleted my DVD driver at one point. You can dig a new one up off LimeWire.

    If it's a driver issue, you can try looking up a new one here: http://www.radarsync.com/vista/

    What model of HP?

    The driver you need is dependent on the chipset used--which we can find from the model.

    Maybe you need a new video card? If it isn't that, it's prob. a driver issue.

    ^ OK, but what's the suffix after DV6500?

    That matters. Should be on the bottom of the system.

    I know your pain. I deleted some software I don't use , a cd copying one to be specific. This altered the registry so that my new laptop no longer "can see" the DVD ROM drive. feels like I have half a laptop. I just got Vista to work and stop randomly turning off too.
