The CD drive or the DVD drive does not work as expected on a computer that you upgraded to Windows Vista

The article doesn't say specifically about 'error 39', but it is normally a filter issue.

Have you installed any DVD reading/writing software recently - that can cause it, or sometimes a Windows update.....

Let us know how you get on.

Optiarc dvd/cd players I have had a lot of dealings with - most of them are ok - what do you expect from Sony and NEC
BUT as you have Vista it should automatically get the drivers needed - uninstall the device driver for the drive and then reboot and it should find it for you, you can also look here Sony NEC Optiarc
