no cdrom/ writer???

[Synyster]

I've been using VCDeasy for a long time, then a friend of mine uninstalled winDVD 1 and installed winDVD 4+ . Now VCDeasy can't find my cdrw drive. reinstalled my ASPI drivers, removed winDVD 4.0+, reinstalled winDVD 1, the drives are working in my device manager. and still VCDeasy won't recognize/ find my cd-rw. and now winDVD 4.0+ won't even find my DVDrom.

I'm assuming my friend deleted a shared file when he took out windvd 1, anyone know what file might have been deleted? or needed so VCDeasy "finds" my cdrw drive?

I'm running win98 se, LG cdrw ced-8120b (says not supported at cdrao but it worked for me before fine). Virus scanned computer , and it is clean.

Any help would be apreciated.

strange, it all started working again today. Wasn't for 1 week, drove me nuts!!

don't know what the solution was, I never installed/upgraded anything. just started working again.
