Actually, I've never had the problem, but I've seen the problem posted surely at 
least a hundred times here, and you are the first person that has ever stated here 
that it actually worked. 

The same fix is also claimed to fix floppy drives that have the same problem (almost 
as common as the CDROM problem), that one I have had, and it did not fix it. However 
in most of these cases (for either drive type) I don't think there is a yellow exclamation 
mark next to the device, the device manager indicates all is well, but all is not 
well. Normally when there is the mark, you can just delete the device and restart 
XP, and all is automatically fixed.
