Vista DvD Problems, Code 39

I upgraded my computers processor from a 2.1 gh to a 3.1 gh. After I upgraded my processor I ran into some problems with my Vista not recognizing my DvD. I figured that I would post how I fixed the problem.

If you get this message "Windows can't load the driver for this device. The driver might be damaged or missing. (Code 39)"


This is not a software problem

1) Updating the drivers does not work.
2) Deleting the device does not work.
3) I do not recomend a system restore

Follow these steps for VISTA (this is taken from Microsoft Knowledge Base:
