Matshita dvd-ram uj-850t

[Guest]

Hi, I need help! My Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5893 is experiencing a meltdown. I removed Norton 360 v5.0 and it apparently took my Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-850T driver with it. Without it, I obviously can't put any new Norton (or any other dvd/cd stuff) onto my laptop. I need an updated driver,but windows thinks the driver is both up-to-date AND corrupt/unable to load. Please help!?

this issue is actually quite common

when certain programs are installed, they place filtering requirements on certain devices, they do this by making entries into the registry.

when the program is uninstalled, the values of those registry entries change, and will disable the driver for that device.

microsoft has the fixes on their site:
