Try this article. Its meant for XP but the reg keys are the same. Use the manual steps in the article as the Active Content Wizard will not run in Vista.

I had the same problem after I uninstalled WinDVD Creator and that link is what I used to correct it. The only exception was I did not have any UpperFilters value. "Ron Rector" wrote in message

Michael--
It only takes only one upper filters or a lower filters value usually conferred by 3rd party software to screw things up and both of them are often not present. The original KB article on this is a very frequent remedy for the cause that the CD or DVD drive can't be accessed and sometimes it will show in Dev Manager.
The Guided Help KBs are interesting. I know that Vista is using Guided Help and building some of it in the next few months and thinking about extending it to other applications like Office. I didn't know that Guide Help KBs were around though.
