I have an extremely annoying situation. I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop, and I recently installed a program called MagicISO Virtual DVD-ROM. This installs a virtual driver on my system, which became quite useful to me. However, I noticed that this has interfered with the original driver for my DVD-ROM, and now it won't read any discs, and worse for me, I am unable to burn CD's. Basically because of the virtual driver, my actual physical DVD-ROM has been rendered useless.

Now here is my real issue. (Note: I have Windows XP)
In my device manager, the original driver for my DVD-ROM had a yellow exclamation point icon next to it, which I assume means there is a problem with it. Above that, is the normal icon for the MagicISO one. I have tried right-clicking on it and un-installing it countless times, but every time the list refreshes, it show right back up. I've restarted my computer and nothing changes. I have used the uninstall program that came with MagicISO and the actual program has been removed, but the driver still remains. I have Googled for hours trying to find a way to permanently get rid of it for good, but not luck.

I tried re-installing the original driver for my DVD-ROM, and now it doesn't show up at all in my device manager, just the MagicISO one, that seems to be un-removable.

Can someone please, please tell me how to get rid of this permanently so I can have my disc drive back? I don't want to have to do something drastic, like re-format my entire computer just because of this one stupid program. I will worship you if you can help me with this! Thanks so much for your time.
