DVD Drive could not be started

Man I love the Internet (and Vista)!

Whenever you have a problem with something, a good Googling will get you the answer.

The DVD burner in my work computer basically out of the blue stopped working and I wasn't sure why.  I found this link that had me modify my registry to remove the lower and upper filters for the drive.  After doing that I uninstalled the drive in Device Manager and scanned for hardware changes and Vista reinstalled it for me.
