Go to Start > Run

Type in devmgmt.msc and hit enter

Do you see any red or yellow alert signs?

Can you tell me any changes made that may have had an effect?

this is on DVD/CDrom drives:

Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.

this is on Network adapters
This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available

OK, tell me your Windows OS and your Machine model.

Also if you can supply the names of the devices that would save me some time.

Right click the network device, disable and then uninstall.

Now, try to reinstall the drivers.

Is the DVD drive working again?
