Error code 39

Sure! Here is the procedure, I did it yesterday and magically found my CD reader and burner again, it's actually a bug in CD Creator that adds files...

You can start by backing up your registry just in case your problem isn't resolved (I didn't do it but oh well):

Start
Run
type "regedit"
Ok

File
Export
File name: registry_copy
at the bottom: Export range click on "All"

Close the registry

Open the registry

Start
Run
type "regedit"
Ok

Completely delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values from the following Registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Restart the computer.

There you go.

Bye

Hello everyone, I also have the same problem and when I try to delete 4d36e965-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318 it won't let me delete it, it says impossible to delete, error when deleting the key.

What should I do?
Thank you.

I would like to congratulate Fréderic for his very kind participation in rescuing internet users;

impeccable procedure for recovering the CD drive

a big thank you Fréderic; you saved my computer

Even after 3 years it still works!! on a new PC and on Vista!!

THANK YOU FREDERIC I say!!

I was about to smash the PC on the ground!

thank youuuuuuu it works :D

<slt> everyone, I have a problem with code 39 but regarding the keyboard I can no longer use it, I have to use the on-screen keyboard. Do you have a tip? Thanks!</slt>

Hi Bernie,

I have the same problem as you and I'm stuck, I've gone through all the FAQs but nothing. I wanted to format my C drive but since my CD drive isn't working... If you have the solution, can you help me?

Thank you very much.

I had the same issue. I called the support for my machine (Travelmate 8002 LCI), and they advised me to reinstall the machine, losing all my data...

I tried your method, and it works perfectly! No need to reinstall...

Thank you very much.

start
run
regedit
file
export

a window opens and at the bottom of this window it says:

"Export range" and you click on All

Well, hats off... I struggled for two days (I had the same problem) and there,... after this tip it's working, I tried everything reinstalling XP without formatting, copying drivers, regenerating the inf directory, etc.

;)

Thank you very much :)

Bonjour, j'ai un câble pour connecter mon portable. Il me donne un code 39 à la fin, alors que d'autres personnes l'ont installé et il fonctionne. Que dois-je faire ?

Hello
I have the same problem as djaeron
I can't install my Sony v600i phone with WXP
When I go through adding new hardware, my PC finds it in the recently connected devices but then I get an error code 39.

THANKS a thousand times luckily there are good guys on these forums you take a thorn out of my foot

see you later

Hi, I have the same problem as you, I tried your solution, the problem is that when I type "regedit" in Run a window opens telling me "this file is used by another application"

can you help me
thanks in advance

have you tried typing something other than regedit, for example msconfig?

Hello,

At the same time as you answer Fred's (good) question, could you clarify in what circumstances you lost the use of the CD player? (the same apparent issue, with 2 different causes, may imply two different solutions).
See you later

It's written 10 + 10 = 100 and it's stated two plus two equals four.

Hello,
I also have the prob with code 39.
I can't always manage to resolve it.
I run-export the file-
after I can't find the bottom...everything????
help me because this equipment is for audio.

Thank you a thousand billion times... I've been working on this problem since this morning, with complicated answers involving the download of elusive drivers, etc., I've tried everything. I didn't even believe it anymore and I saw myself reinstalling everything without a drive or external hard drive to back up my files. And then, a little tweak and it works. Hats off!

Salut, j'ai eu le même problème que vous et je fais ce que Frédéric a dit, et ça marche (enfin je n'ai pu qu'effacer LowerFilters car l'autre fichier n'y était pas, donc pas supprimé) sauf que maintenant mon lecteur Windows Media ne le détecte plus pour graver alors s'il te plaît aide-moi.

Hi, I have the same problem as all of you, and I did what Frederic suggested but it hasn't changed anything for me. I need your help.

So I have a problem where my computer responds with an error code 39
I've had my computer for 5 years and until now there has been no issue with the disk reader and burner until this morning..
The disk reader works but the computer does not recognize CDs..
I went to the device manager and saw the icons for my CD and DVD drives with a yellow exclamation point in front..
I checked what was wrong and it told me there was a problem with the drivers..
Should I make the changes noted above or is there a simpler solution???
I really need help
thanks!!
