I'm stuck on this one, guy's Need a fresh Idea. Windows says error #31 Device (cd-rom) depends on a other device to work. All other devices are working ok. Windows says cant load drivers when it shows them loaded. Moved cd-rom from ide2 to ide1 as a slave, windows found it installed it but get same error code. Booted off cd-rom and scanned for virus's --none. Only thing that was strange is the driver for the cd-rom was changed to the video driver when the cd-rom failed to function. I tried a new cd-rom drive and replace cable and cleared motherboard cmos. even restored to a previous verson. Now I'm stumped. Rick Mitchell Mitch's Electronics Ser.Co.
