Toshiba Equium brand new laptop

Why won't the dvd drive on my Toshiba laptop work?
Toshiba Equium brand new laptop and it I just keep getting a message which says something about the configuration (in the registry) being wrong and something about code 19. It gives me the option of finding a solution from Microsoft but when I try this nothing happens. Any ideas?

You can modify the Registry yourself. Click Run, type regedit Navigate to LOCAL MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control Class 4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-0800 Delete Upperfilters Delete Lowerfilters Reboot & drive should be recongised as DVD/CD

yeah try to go to the control panel and then double click on system and then navigate to device manager, when your there find your dvd drive and right click on it and click properties. then when the next box pops up click update driver and allow windows to connect to the internet and search for a new driver. if it finds one and installs it may fix your problem, if not go to www.toshiba.com and check there for a firmware or driver update for your drive? good luck :oP
