Hi all..
I recently installed Vista on my computer {Dell Dimension E310-P4 1gig ram etc..) And although my internal and external CD / DVD Drives both worked for a day after, they are no longer being recognized by my system. I can see them in 'Devices' and yes they have an exclamation mark next to them. My external DVD/CD Drive is generic and came with no software.. and was automatically...(plug N play) .. recognized and worked great until I installed vista. The DVD / CD internal drive also worked great until Visata.... Can someone help me with a possible place to get drivers?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I have had many problems with my computer so far; one problem being that out of the blue both my DVD Drives Disappeared. The computer no longer recognized them as existing at all. I called support and it was fixed by deleting something off my computer; unfortunately I can't recall what. The Tech however was supprised because one of the items he said to delete; was not on my computer. My Suggestion either get help from your computers company if you can or download drivers as you said.
