I, unknowingly, placed a MediaMax CD into my computer and problems arose immediately. I, and your kind colleague Metallica, have tested my computer on here and believe I have removed all of the Sony software. Metallica's next suggestion is to re-install my drive's driver. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is our previous thread, so you can see what we've been working through:

Go to my computer, right click properties, hardware tab, device manager. Look for the cd drive and right click on it, select update driver.

Hardware Update Wizard:

Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?

- Yes, this time only.
- Yes, now and every time I connect a device.
- No, not this time.


Which should I choose?

[austin_o]

Yes, this time only will work just fine.

"The wizard could not find a better match for your hardware than the software you currently have installed."

To keep the current software, click Finish.
To search again in another location, click Back.

You could right click, un-install the device. Then REBOOT and let windows detect the device and install the driver.

Great. I will do that and re-post. Thanks.

Did as you said, and the CD distortion problems remain. Should I refer back to the Malware forum?

[austin_o]

Yea, maybe. Was the drive working ok before you installed that malicious software? Does it show up in "my computer"?

[trapsmv15]

I thought we cleaned it all out - but yes. I know it was that software. The drive never gave me problems. Does the drive(?) show up in My Computer? Yes it does.

Then I would go back to malware with a fresh hijack this log, and refer to this thread for what you did to update the driver.

OK. Thank you very much for your help.
