Contact Failed Mail Donate DEVCON Command Line Utility Alternative to Device Manager DEVCON is a Microsoft tool that allows "device management" from the command line. It is available for free as part of the Windows Driver Kit (install the Tools). Unfortunately, it is no longer available as a separate download from Microsoft's websites. More detailed information and command line examples can be found at Microsoft TechNet. I dedicated this page to DEVCON because I became impressed by its possibilities. It even allowed me to write scripts to backup drivers without having to search all INF files "manually". This had been on my wish list for a long time. Another great feature is DEVCON's built-in Reboot command. Typing DEVCON help or DEVCON /? returns the following help screen: C:\>DEVCON Help Device Console Help: devcon [-r] [-m:\\
THE MICROSOFT SOLUTION FAILS: a step-by-step fix for regaining access to missing DVD/CD drives. Windows error code: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)" A few days ago I ran into an issue where my DVD drives no longer appeared in Windows and were not accessible either. What was strange was that I have two physical DVD drives (a DVD-RW and an Xbox HD DVD drive), as well as a virtual drive provided by Daemon Tools for loading ISOs - yet all three were highlighted with an exclamation mark and the same error code: Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39). The symptoms one would experience are the following: • You cannot access the CD drive or the DVD drive by using My Computer. • One of the following error messages appears when you view the CD drive or the DVD drive in Device Manager: Error message 1 The device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device (Code 31). Error message 2 A driver for this device was not required, and has been disabled (Code 32 or Code 31). Error message 3 Your registry might be corrupted. (Code 19) • You receive an "error code 39" error message. • A message that resembles the following appears in the notification area: Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41) Like many my first instinct was to Google the error code, and it provided MANY links to individuals citing the issue, and others trying to provide answers; such as, buy a new DVD drive, restart your computer, uninstall iTunes, download new device drivers, etc. (btw - none of these are correct answers to this particular issue) However, many links also pointed to a few Knowledge Base articles at Microsoft, a number which are helpful, and a few that no longer exist (e.g. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320553/). I thought that I had found the answer with the discussion and tips suggested in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060 - which details solutions to the error codes previously mentioned, including Code 19, Code 31, Code 39, and Code 41. The article deals with entering the Registry in Windows, and deleting a few subkeys that point to "filters" relating to the DVD device drivers. First of all, anytime you deal with the Registry you're taking a risk… for all intents and purposes the Registry is the internal guts of the Windows installation, and if you make a mistake and delete or change the wrong key, Windows may not load upon restarting.
