Windows XP Hardware >> Fine working CDRoms in device manager shown in the unknow group instead of CDROM-group Hello,

I installed a week ago a new dvd-burner after putting out my 4x4
cd-burner(HP). All was fine. 2 days later i checked in the device manager
and noticed the DVD-Rom (Pioneer 106s) and the DVD-burner (NEC 1300) are
showing up as unknown devices. Properties says they are Class: unknown and
Factory: general cdrom stations, Status: working correct. Ok they work well
but this is annoying me. So i looked into the registry and found nothing
obvious that could change this.I did find the HP 4x4 burner still in the
registry (that was gone now, and that did have still Class CDROM, but the
Pioneer and NEC hadd Class *empty* . So i am pretty sure something went
wrong when i first booted up with the NEC and without the HP Of course i
tried to uninstall the drives (duh) but they come up again in unknown
devices. Last resource was windows recovery but the date was too long ago
now, so it was not an option. Using Windows XP. Have been searching for
hours on Google, nothing. Only thing i did try in the registry was delete
all HP references, no succes.

Ok, so the question is, which entries in the registry or inf files do i
change/remove for a reset?


TIA

Windows XP765
